A causal role of herpes simplex infection in persistent epithelial defect following penetrating keratoplasty (PKP) has been documented in the past. Instead, not much information is available on the role of adenovirus infection in delayed epithelization following PKP. Here, we describe a case of persistent epithelial defect due to adenoviral infection keratitis confirmed by PCR analysis. Adenovirus keratitis can be an unusual cause of delayed epithelization after PKP.
过去已有文献记载单纯疱疹病毒感染在穿透性角膜移植术（PKP）后持续性上皮缺损中起因果作用。相反，关于腺病毒感染在PKP后上皮化延迟中的作用，目前尚无太多信息。在此，我们描述一例经PCR分析确诊为腺病毒感染性角膜炎导致的持续性上皮缺损病例。腺病毒性角膜炎可能是PKP后上皮化延迟的一个不常见原因。
