ABSTRACT
Purpose:
To evaluate ophthalmic examination results which were performed with slit-lamp biomicroscope, in patients with laboratory-confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infection.Methods:
In the present study, 50 patients with laboratory-confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infection, were enrolled. Ophthalmic examination with slit-lamp biomicroscopy was performed and the results were evaluated.Results:
The mean age of 50 patients (24 females, 26 males) included in this study, was 58,26 ± 18,91 years. In nine patients, bilateral acute follicular conjunctivitis was present. In two patients, acute anterior uveitis was seen. Optic disc and macula were normal in all patients. Preauricular lymphadenopathy (LAP) was found in 6 (12%) patients. Of these six patients, five had follicular conjunctivitis, and one had anterior uveitis.Conclusion:
Acute follicular conjunctivitis with preauricular LAP and anterior uveitis were detected and no fundus pathologies were found in detailed ophthalmic examination in patients with laboratory-confirmed SARS-CoV-2 virus infection.Keywords
