Abstract

Adenoviruses are the most common cause of viral conjunctivitis and may lead to severe morbidity due to corneal involvement. In this report, we aimed to describe the clinical and in vivo confocal microscopic (IVCM) findings of three patients with adenoviral keratoconjunctivitis. All patients had corneal subepithelial infiltrates as observed on slit lamp biomicroscopy. IVCM revealed hyperreflective inflammatory cells in the basal epithelium and the anterior stroma together with subepithelial infiltrations of dendritic cells. Subbasal nerves, posterior stroma, and endothelium showed normal morphology, reflectivity, and cellular density. (Turk J Ophthalmol 2015; 45: 119-121)

Özet

Adenovirüsler viral konjonktivitlerin en sık nedenlerini oluşturmakta ve kornea tutulumuna bağlı olarak ciddi morbiditeye neden olabilmektedir. Bu olgu sunumunda adenoviral keratokonjonktiviti olan üç hastanın klinik ve in vivo konfokal mikroskopik (İVKM) özellikleri tanımlamayı amaçladık. Tüm hastalarda biyomikroskopik muayenede subepiteliyal infiltratlar mevcuttu. İVKM ile bazal epitel hücreleri ve ön stromada hiperreflektif inflamatuvar hücreler ve subepitelial alanda dendritik hücre infiltrasyonu saptandı. Subbazal sinirler, arka stroma ve endotel tabakaları hücre morfolojisi, reflektivite ve hücre yoğunlukları açısından normal morfolojiye sahipti. (Turk J Ophthalmol 2015; 45: 119-121)
