Abstract
|
|
|
An unusual form of epidemic conjuctivitis swept through Korea between July and December, 1971. The clinical features of all the cases were uniform and presented marked conjunctival and subconjunctival hemorrhages in bulbar conjunctiva varied from few minute pin-point petechia to large blotches ofifrank hemorrhage, and the upper half of the bulbar conjunctiva was invariably the initial site of the hemorahagic lesion, which later spread to the entire bulber conjunctiva, and absent of corneal involvement, such as punctate keratitis, fever and pharyngitis, with rapid & short clinical course of about 10 days.
The clinical features strongly suggested that the epidemic hemorrhagic coujunctivitis, which produced subconjunctival hemorrhage instead of punctate keratitis, was presumably caused by a variant type of an adenovirus of epidemic kerato-conjunctivitis.
