Abstract
AbstractMany viruses are responsible of ocular diseases. Among viral infections of the ocular surface, conjunctivitis is typically caused by Adenoviruses and keratitis, by herpesviruses. Viral infections of intraocular tissues or viral uveitis, whose clinical pictures depend on the subject’s state of immunosuppression, are mainly due to herpesviruses and rubella virus. PCR is at the forefront of the diagnosis of these ocular viral infections. Virus-specific intraocular IgG production analysis is limited to some indications, in particular in case of Fuchs uveitis. When the ocular involvement is associated with a systemic clinical picture, diagnostic tests should be extended to other suspected viral infections.
