Overview
Blepharitis must be differentiated from allergic contact dermatitis, conjunctivitis, trichiasis, dry eye syndrome, keratitis, hordeolum, chalazion, rosacea, and sebaceous carcinoma.[1]
Differentiating Conjunctivitis from Other Diseases
Blepharitis must be differentiated from:[1][2][3][4][5][6]
- Allergic contact dermatitis
- Allergic conjunctivitis (Atopic Keratoconjunctivitis)
- Bacterial conjunctivitis
- Viral conjunctivitis
- Trichiasis
- Dry eye syndrome
- Keratitis
- Hordeolum
- Chalazion
- Rosacea
- Superior limbic keratoconjunctivitis
- Contact Lens Complications
- Sebaceous carcinoma (should be suspected in a patient with persistent unilateral eyelid inflammation)
