What Causes Blepharitis And Sores In The Corner Of Eyes?

Both corners of my eyes split about a week ago. Then my eyes started discharging mucus, though not at all like pink eye. Over the last three days, both upper and lower eyelids have started to swell. This evening has been the worst with my eyes swollen nearly halfway closed. I have a very rare autoimmune disorder (Still s Disease) and was recently hospitalized. Could it be staph?
