Corneal histology after epidemic keratoconjunctivitis
O. E. Lund and F. H. Stefani
Two years after typical signs and symptoms of epidemic keratoconjunctivitis
developed in a 67-year-old woman, in whom locally effective steroids were
not used for treatment, a lamellar graft was transplanted because of marked
visual disturbances that were due to corneal opacities. Histopathology of
the cornea revealed notable changes in the superficial stroma, including
Bowman's membrane, with some lymphocytic infiltration of the stroma and the
overlying epithelium. Electron microscopy showed no virus-like particles.
