Resumen
The Parinaud oculoglandular syndrome is a rare eye disease caused by different etiologic agents,
including bacteria, viruses and fungi. It is characterized by a granulomatous conjunctivitis, accompanied
by adjacent preauricular lymphadenopathy and can bring consequences if not treated promptly. We
present a case of Parinaud oculoglandular syndrome caused by Sporothrix schenckii from the
sporotrichosis epidemic in its zoonotic form occurring in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
