lthough smallpox was eradicated worldwide, concerns have been raised about the use of smallpox as a biological weapon. Plans are being considered for smallpox immunization in the United States. Variola virus, the cause of smallpox, and vaccinia virus, used in smallpox immunization, are both orthopoxviruses that are associated with serious ocular complications, including eyelid and conjunctival infection, corneal ulceration, disciform keratitis, iritis, optic neuritis, and blindness. About 5% to 9% of patients with smallpox develop ocular complications, and case-fatality rates reach 20% to 35% among unvaccinated individuals. About 10 to 20 patients develop ocular complications per 1 million smallpox immunizations, usually through autoinoculation, in which the patient transfers vaccinia from the immunization site to the eye. The risk of ocular vaccinia infection may be reduced by instructing patients and individuals in close contact with the vaccinee to wash their hands often and avoid touching the immunization site and their eyes. Topical antiviral therapy, topical steroids, and topical and oral antibiotics have been used to reduce the ocular complications of smallpox immunization. In contrast, there has been little experience with the use of these therapies for the ocular complications of smallpox.

counts can this be accomplished. Other important diag¬ nostic features are ( 1 ) a history of recurrent infections of the skin or mucous membranes over a period of years, possibly from infancy, (2) the presence of recurring cycles of neutropenia or agranulocytosis coinciding with these episodes, and (3) the sustained good general health of the person. Once the diagnosis is made, wise manage¬ ment of the patient can greatly ameliorate the economic consequences of a life-long periodic illness. SUMMARY AND CONCLUSIONSCyclic neutropenia in a 16-year-old girl observed over a four year period is described. Splenectomy was not followed by relief from periodic infections. No effect on the regularity of the cycles or on the degree of neutro¬ penia resulted; however, the total leukocyte count in¬ creased from an average of 3,960 before splenectomy to an average of 6,220 per cubic millimeter two and a half years later. Spontaneous relief from infections occurred during two pregnancies.
