Overview
Blepharitis must be differentiated from other diseases that cause eye itching, irritation, burning, and foreign body sensation such as allergic contact dermatitis, conjunctivitis, trichiasis, dry eye syndrome, keratitis, hordeolum, chalazion, rosacea, and sebaceous carcinoma.
Differentiating Blepharitis from Other Diseases
Blepharitis must be differentiated from other conditions associated with eyelid inflammation, including:[1]
| Differential diagnosis of blepharitis | |
|---|---|
| Condition | Entity |
| Bacterial infections |
|
| Viral infections | |
| Parasitic infections |
|
| Immunologic conditions |
|
| Dermatoses | |
| Benign eyelid tumors |
|
| Malignant eyelid tumors | |
| Trauma |
|
| Toxic conditions |
|
Blepharitis must be differentiated from other diseases that cause red, swollen, and itchy eyes, including:[2][3][4][5][6][7]
- 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
