Abstract:
Adenoviral keratoconjunctivitis is caused by adenovirus serotypes 8,19,37.Typical signs of adenoviral con-junctivitis include preauricular lymphadenopathy, conjunc-tival hyperemia, chemosis, subconjunctival hemorrhage and follicular conjunctival reaction. Corneal involvement in adenoviral keratoconjunctivitis is variable. Most patients have a diffuse, fine, superficial keratitis with focal, elevated, punctate epithelial lesions which become subepithelial opacities later. We had a 35 years old male who had unusual clinical presentation of adenoviral conjunctivitis in the form of conjunctivo-corneal epithelitis which has not been described in the literature.Patient was managed successfully by conserva-tive treatment alone. Conjunctivo-corneal epithelitis can be unusual clinical presentation of adenoviral kerato-conjunctivitis.
