Herpes simplex keratoconjunctivitis

Herpes simplex keratoconjunctivitis is an infectious ocular condition characterized by concurrent viral infection and inflammation of both the cornea and the conjunctiva, predominantly caused by herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) and less frequently type 2 (HSV-2)

Herpes simplex keratoconjunctivitis is an infectious ocular condition characterized by concurrent viral infection and inflammation of both the cornea and the conjunctiva, predominantly caused by herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) and less frequently type 2 (HSV-2) Hallmark clinical features include acute follicular conjunctivitis, periorbital vesicular eruptions, preauricular lymphadenopathy, and epithelial corneal lesions displaying pathognomonic branching dendritic or geographic ulcerations w...

It typically manifests during primary ocular exposure—often seen in children or young adults—or through reactivation of latent virus harbored within the sensory trigeminal ganglion
