Parinaud’s syndrome

Alternative Names:
Oculoglandular syndrome

Prevention:

Frequent hand washing can reduce the likelihood of acquiring Parinaud's syndrome. Specifically, tularemia can be avoided by not having contact with wild rabbits, squirrels or ticks. Cat scratch disease is usually a self-limited, acute illness associated with lymphadenopathy, fatigue, headache, and anorexia. It is more likely transmitted by young kittens.
