Herpes Simplex Virus in Human Cornea, Retrocorneal Fibrous Membrane, and Vitreous

Methods for Rapid Detection of Human Ocular Viral Infections

“…The virus may replicate in the corneal stroma without any overt inflammation. Collin and Abelson 25 recently described a case of apparent herpes simplex keratouveitis where the virus was demonstrated by transmission electron microscopy in the cornea removed at the time of a third corneal transplant, indicating that the virus persisted for a considerable period of time. In a case of herpetic iritis, virus was found in the anterior chamber by immunofluorescence and electron microscopy.…”
