Herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) can cause rare bilateral corneal linear endotheliitis and hearing loss. Early aggressive treatment is crucial for managing this severe HSV-1 corneal infection and preventing vision loss.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Virology
  • Infectious Diseases

Background:

  • Herpetic linear endotheliitis is a rare corneal condition.
  • Herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) is a common viral infection.

Observation:

  • A 70-year-old man presented with bilateral corneal edema and sensorineural hearing loss.
  • Diagnostic tests confirmed HSV-1 DNA in the aqueous humor of both eyes.

Findings:

  • The patient showed positive serum antibodies for HSV-1.
  • Despite treatment with prednisolone and acyclovir, corneal edema worsened.
  • Recurrent herpetic endotheliitis occurred post-keratoplasty.

Implications:

  • HSV-1 can manifest as bilateral corneal linear endotheliitis and hearing impairment.

  • Linear endotheliitis should be recognized as a potential sign of HSV-1 corneal infection.
  • Prompt and aggressive treatment is vital due to the poor prognosis associated with severe corneal edema.
