Adenovirus type 10 keratoconjunctivitis with increased intraocular pressure.
An 18-year-old man, with serologically diagnosed adenovirus type 10 infection, had keratoconjunctivouveitis of both eyes after pharyngitis with transient increased intraocular pressure. Increased intraocular pressure, ranging from 46 to 28 mm Hg during medical therapy, lasted for about ten days in the early stage of the disease. Many punctate corneal opacities developed bilaterally two weeks later and disappeared within ten months. Analysis of the clinical findings demonstrated that the increased intraocular pressure may have been secondary glaucoma due to keratoconjunctivitis caused by adenovirus infection.
