Parinaud Oculoglandular Syndrome

Parinaud Oculoglandular Syndrome (often shortened to POGS) is an eye infection that usually affects just one eye. It causes a special kind of conjunctivitis (pink eye) with small, inflamed bumps called “granulomas” on the white part of the eye or inner eyelid, plus swollen, tender lymph nodes in front of the ear or under the jaw on the same side as the sore eye. Most cases get better with the right treatment and do not cause long-term vision problems. EyeWikiCleveland Clinic

POGS is most often caused by a germ from animals—especially cats—but other bacteria, viruses, and fungi can also trigger it. In cat-scratch disease, a small percentage of patients (roughly a few percent) develop this eye-and-gland pattern. EyeWikiNCBI

Parinaud syndrome” also names a brain problem involving trouble looking up (a dorsal midbrain issue). That is different from Parinaud oculoglandular syndrome, which is an eye infection with nearby swollen nodes. EyeWiki

A germ gets into the eye surface (the conjunctiva). This can happen when we rub the eye with contaminated fingers, when a cat scratch or flea dirt gets near the eye, or when plant/animal material or tiny infected droplets reach the eye. The eye’s tissues react by forming little inflammatory bumps (granulomas). Nearby lymph nodes, which act like “filters,” swell up as they fight the infection. Some germs also cause a low fever and a general “I feel unwell” feeling. EyeWikiCleveland Clinic

Types (by common patterns)

1) Cat-scratch type (Bartonella henselae).
Often follows cat exposure, especially kittens. It causes one-sided granulomatous conjunctivitis plus preauricular (in front of the ear) or submandibular (under the jaw) lymph node swelling. Most recover well with supportive care or targeted antibiotics. EyeWikiNCBI

2) Tularemia type (Francisella tularensis).
Linked to contact with wild or domestic animals, ticks, or contaminated water/soil. Eye findings can be more purulent (pus-like), with chemosis (swelling of the eye surface), and patients may feel sicker with higher fever. EyeWikiScienceDirect

3) Sporotrichosis type (Sporothrix schenckii).
A fungal cause classically tied to gardening or plant matter. It may create conjunctival ulcers or eyelid lesions, and lymph nodes can be swollen and sometimes tender. EyeWikiLippincott Journals

4) “Other-cause” POGS.
Less commonly, other bacteria, viruses, and fungi (and rarely non-infectious conditions) can produce the same “eye + nearby node” picture. Clinicians look for exposures (pets, travel, outdoor work) to narrow down the culprit. EyeWikiCleveland Clinic

Causes

Below are 20 recognized causes that can produce the POGS picture. Your doctor uses the story of exposures and specific tests to pick the right one.

1. Bartonella henselae (cat-scratch disease): the most common cause; spread by kittens/cats and their fleas. EyeWikiCDC

2. Francisella tularensis (tularemia): from ticks, wild animals, or contaminated environments; the “oculoglandular” form is well described. ScienceDirect

3. Sporothrix schenckii (sporotrichosis): a dimorphic fungus from soil and plants; gardeners and farmers are classic risk groups. Lippincott Journals

4. Mycobacterium tuberculosis (tuberculosis): can involve the eye surface and lymph nodes in rare ocular TB presentations. EyeWiki

5. Treponema pallidum (syphilis): an uncommon ocular presentation that can mimic many eye conditions. EyeWiki

6. Coccidioides species (valley fever): a fungal cause seen in certain dry regions; may involve eyes and nodes. EyeWikiCleveland Clinic

7. Pasteurella multocida: bacteria from animal bites/scratches (not just cats) can inoculate the conjunctiva. EyeWiki

8. Chlamydia trachomatis (LGV subtype): a sexually transmitted chlamydial strain that can present with eye and node involvement. EyeWiki

9. Herpes simplex virus (HSV): can cause ulcerative eye disease with nearby node swelling. EyeWiki

10. Mumps virus: a systemic viral infection that can include conjunctival inflammation and nodal swelling. EyeWiki

11. Epstein–Barr virus (infectious mononucleosis): may cause “mono-like” illness with eye redness and lymphadenopathy. EyeWiki

12. Yersinia enterocolitica: a gastrointestinal pathogen that can (rarely) present with oculoglandular features. EyeWiki

13. Yersinia pseudotuberculosis: another Yersinia species with rare eye involvement. EyeWiki

14. Haemophilus ducreyi (chancroid): typically genital disease, but rare eye inoculation cases are reported. EyeWiki

15. Listeria monocytogenes: a food-borne bacterium that has been linked (rarely) to oculoglandular presentations. Cleveland Clinic

16. Mycobacterium leprae (leprosy/Hansen’s disease): can cause ocular surface disease with nodal involvement in endemic areas. Cleveland Clinic

17. Blastomyces dermatitidis: a North American endemic fungus with occasional ocular surface disease. EyeWiki

18. Paracoccidioides brasiliensis: a South American fungus that can affect mucosal surfaces including the eye. EyeWiki

19. Rickettsia conorii (Mediterranean spotted fever): rarely associated with oculoglandular signs. EyeWiki

20. Vaccinia (post-vaccination): smallpox vaccine–related ocular inoculation has been described historically. EyeWiki

Symptoms

1. Red, irritated eye on one side. The white of the eye looks inflamed and feels sore. Cleveland Clinic

2. Gritty or painful feeling. It may feel like sand in the eye, especially with blinking. Cleveland Clinic

3. Watery discharge or mild mucus. The eye may tear more than usual or make stringy mucus. EyeWiki

4. Small yellow-pink bumps (granulomas). These sit on the conjunctiva or inner eyelid and are a key clue. Cleveland Clinic

5. Tender swelling in front of the ear (preauricular node). This is the classic “oculoglandular” part. EyeWiki

6. Swelling under the jaw or in the neck. Other regional nodes can also enlarge and hurt. EyeWiki

7. Low-grade fever or feeling unwell. Many causes bring mild systemic symptoms. NCBI

8. Eyelid puffiness. The lids may look a bit swollen from local inflammation. EyeWiki

9. Light sensitivity (photophobia). Bright light can bother the infected eye. Cleveland Clinic

10. A scratch or tiny papule near the eye (with cat-scratch disease). Sometimes a small inoculation mark is present. EyeWiki

11. Sore throat, headache, or body aches (tularemia more often). Some germs make people feel more acutely ill. EyeWiki

12. Conjunctival ulcer or nodule (sporotrichosis and others). The surface can break down or form raised lesions. Lippincott Journals

13. Stringy discharge and chemosis (tularemia cases). The eye surface can look boggy and ooze. EyeWiki

14. Tearing and mild blurred vision. The surface irritation can blur sight temporarily. Cleveland Clinic

15. Prolonged node swelling even after the eye improves (cat-scratch disease). The eye may settle in weeks but nodes can linger longer. NCBI

Diagnostic Tests

Clinicians choose tests based on your story and exam. Not everyone needs every test. The goal is to confirm the germ and rule out dangerous mimics.

A) Physical-exam–based tests

1. Visual acuity test (eye chart). Checks how clearly you see and whether the infection is affecting vision.

2. External eye and eyelid inspection. Looks for granulomas, ulcers, lid swelling, and discharge that point toward POGS. EyeWiki

3. Lymph node exam. Gentle palpation in front of the ear and under the jaw identifies the “glandular” part of the syndrome. EyeWiki

4. Fundus (back-of-eye) exam. Ensures there is no deeper inflammation like uveitis or neuroretinitis sometimes linked to cat-scratch disease. EyeWikiNCBI

B) “Manual” bedside checks

5. Slit-lamp biomicroscopy. A bright-light microscope lets the doctor see tiny conjunctival nodules or ulcers clearly. EyeWiki

6. Fluorescein staining. A harmless orange dye highlights surface defects or ulcers on the cornea/conjunctiva. EyeWiki

7. Upper eyelid eversion. Turning the lid helps find hidden follicles or granulomas. EyeWiki

8. Lacrimal sac pressure (“reflux”) check if tearing/pus). Helps spot a blocked or infected tear sac (dacryocystitis), which can accompany some causes. EyeWiki

C) Lab and pathology tests

9. Bartonella serology (IgM/IgG). A blood test; rising or high IgG titers, or detectable IgM early, support cat-scratch disease–related POGS. EyeWiki

10. Bartonella PCR. Detects Bartonella DNA directly from conjunctival/corneal samples or node aspirate—helpful in tricky cases. PMC

11. Warthin–Starry (silver) stain or special histology on biopsy/aspirate. Shows small bacilli in tissue when present. EyeWiki

12. Tularemia tests (culture/serology/PCR). A fourfold antibody rise or characteristic titers confirm the diagnosis; culture needs special media. EyeWiki

13. Sporothrix culture (Sabouraud dextrose agar) and fungal stains (PAS, GMS). Confirms sporotrichosis from a conjunctival nodule or swab. EyeWiki

14. Syphilis serology (RPR or VDRL + treponemal confirm). Screens for Treponema pallidum in atypical cases. EyeWiki

15. TB testing (IGRA/Quantiferon, AFB smear/culture if indicated). Looks for tuberculosis when history or exam suggests it. EyeWiki

16. Viral PCR (HSV/VZV/EBV) or mumps serology when suspected. Used when ulcers, systemic symptoms, or outbreaks point to a viral cause. EyeWiki

D) Electrodiagnostic tests

17. Visual evoked potential (VEP). Rarely used; checks optic nerve function if deeper inflammation (like neuroretinitis) is suspected. NCBI

18. Electroretinography (ERG). Also uncommon; considered only if retinal involvement is suspected and vision is unexpectedly reduced. (General adjunct in complex ocular inflammation.) PMC

E) Imaging tests

19. Ultrasound or CT/MRI of orbit/neck (selected cases). Helps if there’s deep tissue concern or to evaluate bulky lymph nodes or unusual swelling. Cleveland Clinic

20. Chest X-ray (or CT) when TB/sarcoidosis is on the table. Looks for lung or lymph patterns that support those diagnoses. EyeWiki

Non-pharmacological treatments

These support healing and reduce discomfort. They do not replace antibiotics/antifungals when an infection is confirmed.

1. Warm compresses 10–15 minutes, 3–4×/day: increases blood flow and helps immune cells clear debris from the conjunctiva and eyelids.

2. Cold compresses 5–10 minutes for swelling/itch: calms local inflammation and numbs discomfort.

3. Sterile saline eyewash once or twice daily: gently flushes discharge and reduces irritants without medication.

4. Preservative-free artificial tears 4–6×/day: dilutes inflammatory molecules and soothes the surface.

5. Eyelid hygiene (dilute baby-shampoo or commercial lid-wipe once daily): keeps lids clean so bacteria and oils don’t worsen irritation.

6. Hands-off rule: avoid rubbing/touching the eye; this prevents spreading germs to the other eye and to others.

7. Pause contact lenses & eye makeup until fully cleared; lenses and brushes can harbor germs.

8. Dedicated towel/pillowcase, changed frequently: limits cross-contamination at home.

9. Night eye shield (clean glasses frame or store-bought shield): keeps you from accidental rubbing in sleep.

10. Hydration & rest: your immune system works best when well-rested and hydrated; fevers and tearing also increase fluid needs.

11. Smoking cessation (even temporarily): smoke irritates the eye surface and slows healing.

12. Screen-time breaks (20-20-20 rule): reduces dryness and strain while the eye heals.

13. Pet hygiene & flea control: wash hands after play, control fleas, avoid rough play with kittens—reduces re-exposure to Bartonella. EyeWiki

14. Tick precautions (repellent, long sleeves, quick tick removal) if you live in/visited tularemia-endemic areas. CDC

15. Gardening gloves/eye protection when pruning or handling soil to prevent Sporothrix eye inoculation. PMC

16. Cool-mist humidifier in dry rooms: supports a healthy tear film.

17. Mindful pain strategies (relaxed breathing, short naps): helps when you must limit pain meds.

18. Nutrition upgrades (see food guidance below): gives your immune system building blocks.

19. Allergy control (if co-existing): keep allergens low at home; allergy friction can worsen the inflamed eye.

20. Follow-up appointments: allow timely switch to targeted antimicrobial therapy when test results return.

Drug treatments

Important: The best drug depends on the cause. Doses below are typical adult regimens; children, pregnancy, kidney/liver disease, and drug interactions require specialist adjustment. Always follow your clinician’s plan.

1. Azithromycin (macrolide) — for Bartonella (CSD/POGS)
   Dose/time: 500 mg on day 1, then 250 mg daily on days 2–5; some clinicians use 500 mg daily for 5 days in adults with ocular disease.
   Purpose: speeds resolution of lymph nodes and eye inflammation when Bartonella is the suspected cause.
   Mechanism: blocks bacterial protein synthesis (50S ribosome).
   Side effects: stomach upset, metallic taste, rare QT prolongation/drug interactions. AAFPaes.amegroups.org

2. Doxycycline (tetracycline) — for Bartonella, LGV, or as an alternative in tularemia
   Dose/time: 100 mg twice daily for 2–4 weeks (Bartonella ocular disease often ≥2 weeks).
   Purpose: treats intracellular bacteria driving the conjunctivitis and lymphadenitis.
   Mechanism: 30S ribosome inhibition.
   Side effects: sun sensitivity, reflux/heartburn; avoid with pregnancy and in young children unless specialist advises. PMCScienceDirect

3. Rifampin (rifamycin) — add-on for severe Bartonella ocular disease

4. Gentamicin (IV) (aminoglycoside) — preferred for severe tularemia
   Dose/time: ~5 mg/kg/day IV in 1–3 doses for 7–10 days (adjust for kidneys).
   Purpose: rapidly treats F. tularensis causing oculoglandular disease.
   Mechanism: 30S ribosomal inhibitor, bactericidal.
   Side effects: kidney toxicity, ear toxicity—monitor levels. CDCMedscape

5. Streptomycin (IM) (aminoglycoside) — another first-line for tularemia
   Dose/time: 1 g IM every 12 h for 7–10 days.
   Purpose/Mechanism/Side effects: similar to gentamicin; strong clinical experience supports it where available. MedscapeAcademic Oxford

6. Ciprofloxacin (fluoroquinolone) — oral option for mild/moderate tularemia when aminoglycosides aren’t feasible
   Dose/time: 500–750 mg PO twice daily for 10–14 days (or IV equivalents).
   Side effects: tendons/joint pain, rare nerve effects/QT changes; interacts with cations. PMC

7. Itraconazole (azole antifungal) — for ocular Sporothrix
   Dose/time: 200 mg/day orally for 3–6 months (continue 2–4 weeks after lesions resolve).
   Purpose: clears fungal infection acquired from soil/plants.
   Side effects: liver toxicity, many drug interactions (avoid with some heart meds). PMCMDPI

8. Amphotericin B (systemic or intravitreal, specialist use) — for intraocular sporotrichosis or severe fungal disease
   Dose/time: IV 0.7–1 mg/kg/day (formulation-specific) or intravitreal dosing by retina specialists.
   Side effects: kidney injury, electrolyte loss; hospital monitoring required. MDPI

9. Aqueous crystalline Penicillin G (IV) — standard for ocular syphilis
   Dose/time: 18–24 million units/day IV (3–4 MU every 4 h or continuous infusion) for 10–14 days; sometimes followed by IM benzathine penicillin to complete duration.
   Purpose: eradicates T. pallidum in ocular tissues; manage with ID/eye specialists.
   Side effects: infusion site issues, Jarisch–Herxheimer reaction (temporary fever/worsening). CDC+2CDC+2

10. Acyclovir/Valacyclovir (antivirals) — for HSV/VZV-related conjunctivitis
    Dose/time: e.g., acyclovir 800 mg PO five times daily for 7–10 days for shingles near the eye; HSV dosing varies (often acyclovir 400–800 mg 3–5×/day or valacyclovir 1 g 2–3×/day, per clinician).
    Purpose: suppresses viral replication to speed healing and reduce complications.
    Side effects: nausea, headache; adjust for kidney function.

Steroids: Topical or systemic steroids can worsen infection if used too early. They are not routine for POGS and should only be considered after effective antimicrobial coverage and with specialist guidance (e.g., some cases of Bartonella neuroretinitis). American Journal of Case Reports

Dietary molecular supplements

These do not treat the infection. They can support overall immune function and surface healing. Discuss with your clinician, especially if pregnant, on blood thinners, or with liver/kidney disease.

1. Vitamin D3 1,000–2,000 IU daily: supports innate and adaptive immunity (avoid very high doses unless deficient).

2. Vitamin C 500 mg twice daily: antioxidant that supports barrier and immune cells.

3. Zinc 25–40 mg elemental daily for ≤14 days during illness: supports immune enzymes; long-term excess depletes copper.

4. Omega-3 (fish oil) 1 g/day EPA+DHA: helps tear film and surface inflammation.

5. Probiotics (≥10⁹ CFU/day, multi-strain): may support mucosal immunity; stop if bloating or immunocompromised.

6. Lactoferrin 100–200 mg/day (or lactoferrin eye drops where available): antimicrobial/anti-inflammatory properties for the ocular surface.

7. Curcumin 500 mg twice daily with food: anti-inflammatory; watch interactions/bleeding risk.

8. Quercetin 500 mg twice daily: mast-cell stabilizing/antioxidant; can interact with some meds.

9. N-acetylcysteine (NAC) 600 mg twice daily: mucolytic/antioxidant; avoid if on nitroglycerin unless cleared.

10. Blackcurrant/blueberry anthocyanins standardized extract daily: antioxidant support for microvasculature.

Regenerative / stem-cell drugs

There are no approved stem-cell or regenerative drugs for POGS, and no medicine can “super-boost” immunity to cure these infections. Using such products outside clinical trials can be harmful or illegal. Below are six items people often ask about—and why they’re not recommended for POGS:

1. Stem-cell infusions (any source): Not indicated; risks include infection, immune reactions, and graft-related complications; no evidence for conjunctival infections.

2. Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) eye drops: may help dry eye in select cases, but not proven for infectious POGS; could theoretically feed microbes if misused.

3. IV immunoglobulin (IVIG): reserved for special immune disorders; not a treatment for localized ocular infections like POGS.

4. Interferon or cytokine therapies: significant side effects; no role in routine POGS.

5. G-CSF/GM-CSF (“white-cell boosters”): used for chemotherapy-related neutropenia, not for POGS.

6. Unregulated “immune boosters” marketed online: quality/safety concerns; may interact with antibiotics.

Bottom line: focus on targeted antimicrobials, supportive care, and prevention. Ask about vaccinations appropriate for you (e.g., shingles vaccine in older adults)—not to treat POGS, but to reduce other eye-affecting infections.

---

Procedures/surgeries

1. Needle aspiration of a suppurating lymph node: done if the node forms a fluctuant pus pocket; relieves pain and speeds recovery; culture can guide antibiotics.

2. Incision & drainage of a large abscessed node (rare today because antibiotics work well): used when aspiration is insufficient.

3. Excisional biopsy of a lymph node or conjunctival lesion biopsy: done when the diagnosis is unclear or cancer/sarcoid needs exclusion; provides tissue for special stains and cultures.

4. Debridement/excision of necrotic eyelid tissue (very rare): if severe secondary infection occurs.

5. Intravitreal injection (antibiotic/antifungal) by a retina specialist: for uncommon cases with intraocular infection, often along with systemic therapy (e.g., amphotericin B for intraocular sporotrichosis). MDPI

Prevention tips

1. Kitten care: trim claws, avoid rough play; wash hands after handling; keep cats flea-free (reduces Bartonella). EyeWiki

2. Do not touch your eyes after playing with pets or gardening; wash first.

3. Gardening protection: wear gloves and eye protection when pruning bushes or handling thorny plants/soil. PMC

4. Tick safety: repellents, protective clothing, and daily tick checks after outdoor activities in endemic areas. CDC

5. Food & water hygiene when camping/hunting; avoid handling sick wild rabbits or carcasses without protection. CDC

6. Avoid sharing towels/eye cosmetics; replace eye makeup after infections.

7. Clean contact lenses properly; never sleep in lenses unless prescribed.

8. Up-to-date vaccines as appropriate for age/health (e.g., shingles vaccine for older adults; not a POGS treatment but reduces other eye infections).

9. Manage chronic conditions (diabetes, HIV) that weaken defenses.

10. Early care for face/eyelid injuries to avoid inoculating the eye.

---

When to see a doctor urgently

• Sudden vision loss, double vision, or severe light sensitivity.

• Very swollen, hot, or fluctuant lymph node (possible abscess).

• Severe eye pain, pus, or fever.

• History of cat scratch to the face followed by a red eye and tender preauricular node.

• Rash/sores consistent with shingles or syphilis near the eye. CDC

• You are pregnant, very young, elderly, or immunocompromised.

• Symptoms not improving within a few days of supportive care or after starting treatment.

What to eat—and what to avoid

1. Eat: protein-rich foods (eggs, fish, legumes) to build immune cells.

2. Eat: colorful fruits/vegetables (berries, citrus, leafy greens) for vitamins C/A/E and polyphenols that support tissue repair.

3. Eat: omega-3 sources (fatty fish, flax, walnuts) to calm surface inflammation.

4. Drink: water, broths, and herbal teas to stay hydrated (tears need water).

5. Include: fermented foods (yogurt, kefir, kimchi) if tolerated, for gut-immune support.

6. Avoid: alcohol while on antibiotics/antifungals (liver load, interactions—especially with azoles and rifampin).

7. Avoid: grapefruit with drugs that interact (e.g., some macrolides/azoles)—ask your pharmacist.

8. Avoid: very salty/ultra-processed foods that worsen puffiness and systemic inflammation.

9. Time your calcium/iron away from doxycycline by several hours (they bind the medicine and block absorption).

10. Limit added sugars; rapid sugar swings can impair immune responses.

FAQs

1) Is POGS the same as “Parinaud syndrome” of the brain?
No. That neurologic syndrome affects eye movements from a midbrain problem. Parinaud oculoglandular syndrome is an eye surface + lymph node infection problem. Different conditions, same eponym.

2) Can both eyes be involved?
POGS is usually one-sided; both eyes are unusual and should prompt careful re-evaluation. MedlinePlus

3) Is it contagious?
You can spread the causative germs by touching the sick eye and then other people or your other eye. Good hand hygiene and not sharing towels helps.

4) Do I always need antibiotics?
Not always for general CSD, but ocular involvement (POGS) is often treated with targeted antibiotics to speed healing and limit complications. Your clinician will decide based on tests and severity. AAFPaes.amegroups.org

5) How long until it gets better?
With the right therapy, conjunctival symptoms often improve in days to a couple of weeks; fungal cases like sporotrichosis may need months of therapy. PMC

6) Can POGS affect vision permanently?
Surface disease rarely causes permanent vision loss. If the back of the eye is involved (e.g., Bartonella neuroretinitis), timely treatment usually leads to good recovery, but delayed care can risk lasting changes. PMC

7) Are steroid eye drops helpful?
Not at first. Steroids can worsen infections if used without proper antimicrobial cover. They are considered only by specialists in select, treated cases. American Journal of Case Reports

8) What tests will I likely need?
Usually a slit-lamp exam, lymph-node check, and targeted labs (e.g., Bartonella, tularemia, syphilis, sometimes fungal cultures). EyeWikiCDC

9) Do pets have to be removed from the home?
No. Practice flea control, gentle play, and hand washing after handling—especially with kittens. EyeWiki

10) Can I keep wearing contact lenses?
Pause lenses until your clinician okays restart; lenses can trap germs and irritate healing tissue.

11) Is POGS dangerous during pregnancy?
Some causes (e.g., syphilis) have important pregnancy risks—urgent evaluation is needed, and antibiotic choices change in pregnancy. CDC

12) What about children?
Children get POGS (often from kittens). Dosing and drug choices differ—pediatric guidance is essential. Pediatrics

13) Will warm compresses cure it?
They ease symptoms but do not kill the germ. Think of them as comfort care while the antimicrobial does the heavy lifting.

14) Can POGS come back?
Yes, if exposed again (new cat scratches, new tick bites, etc.) or if the original infection wasn’t fully eradicated.

15) What specialists might be involved?
Ophthalmology for the eye, infectious diseases for tricky pathogens (tularemia, syphilis, sporotrichosis), and sometimes dermatology (skin lesions) or ENT (node evaluation).
