Parinaud's oculoglandular syndrome (POS) is an atypical manifestation of cat-scratch disease. Many reported cases of POS are secondary from Bartonella henselae but none has been reported from Southeast Asian region. This case series report two cases of POS. Both cases presented with unilateral granulomatous conjunctivitis and ipsilateral periauricular lymph node swelling. Both had positive history of contact with cats. One patient was treated with oral ciprofloxacin for two weeks while the another patient was treated with oral azithromycin for six weeks. Both cases recovered well.
