Post Adenoviral Subepithelial Keratitis

Following adenoviral eye infections, subepithelial infiltrates and inflammation can be found in the eye that can last for longer periods. These post-adenoviral subepithelial keratitis are thought to occur due to delayed hypersensitivity reactions. It is an immune response to the virus or viral antigens in the eye (corneal stroma).
