Epidemic Keratoconjunctivitis: Complications

The following are the most important diseases or complications that may be contributed to by keratoconjunctivitis epidemica:

Eyes and ocular appendages (H00-H59).

  • Bacterial superinfection
  • Keratitis (corneal inflammation)
  • Keratoconjunctivitis superficialis punctata with epithelial defects.
  • Corneal infiltrates (subepithelial)
  • Visual acuity reduction (reduction in visual acuity) – nummuli (small coin-shaped infiltrates in the superficial corneal stroma) may persist (thereby limiting visual acuity in the primarily affected eye)
