Adenovirus can infect the human cornea, causing epithelial keratitis. This viral eye infection may mimic herpes simplex virus keratitis, presenting with similar symptoms and requiring accurate diagnosis.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Virology
  • Microbiology

Background:

  • Adenovirus is a common cause of viral conjunctivitis.
  • Corneal involvement in adenovirus infections can lead to significant visual impairment.

Observation:

  • Medical records of six patients with adenovirus-positive corneal cultures were reviewed.
  • Clinical presentations included dendritic epithelial keratitis, geographic epithelial ulceration, or both.
  • Rose bengal staining showed uptake at epithelial edges, mimicking herpes simplex virus keratitis.

Findings:

  • Adenovirus types 3, 8, and 19 were identified in the corneal cultures.
  • Monoclonal antibody staining confirmed the absence of herpes simplex virus antigens.
  • Adenovirus infection of the corneal epithelium was confirmed in vivo.

Implications:

  • Adenovirus can cause epithelial keratitis in the human cornea.
  • Adenoviral keratitis may present with clinical features similar to herpes simplex virus keratitis.
  • Accurate differentiation between these viral keratitis types is crucial for appropriate patient management.
