Cytomegalovirus (CMV)-related corneal endotheliitis is an inflammation of the corneal endothelium caused by CMV. It typically presents as coin-shaped keratic precipitates (KPs), with or without corneal edema, in otherwise healthy individuals. It may be associated with anterior uveitis and raised intraocular pressure (IOP). Patients with CMV-related corneal endotheliitis respond to systemic and topical ganciclovir with the use of topical steroid. Making an accurate early diagnosis is crucial in preventing loss of corneal endothelial cells and unnecessary treatment resulting from misdiagnosis in these patients.
巨细胞病毒(CMV)相关性角膜内皮炎是由CMV引起的角膜内皮炎症。在其他方面健康的个体中,它通常表现为钱币状角膜后沉着物(KPs),伴有或不伴有角膜水肿。它可能与前葡萄膜炎和眼压(IOP)升高有关。CMV相关性角膜内皮炎患者使用全身和局部更昔洛韦并联合局部类固醇治疗有效。准确的早期诊断对于防止这些患者角膜内皮细胞丢失以及误诊导致的不必要治疗至关重要。
