dc.description.abstract | Purpose: To report the treatment and follow-up of a linear epithelial keratitis with a horseshoe pattern. Methods: A 21-year-old Turkish soldier, who presented with epithelial keratitis with a horseshoe pattern that did not respond to immunosuppressive and multiple anti-microbial treatment, was studied clinically. Results: No microorganism was identified with different stains, cultures, and herpes simplex virus-polymerase chain reaction. The impression cytology revealed prominent polymorphonuclear leukocyte infiltration at the keratitis line. The keratitis did not respond to different antimicrobial treatment or local and systemic corticosteroids. After a fourth scraping was performed deeply with a disc-knife, the lesion healed and did not recur in six months. Conclusion: Linear epitheliitis of cornea with a horseshoe pattern was not found to be associated with any microorganism or systemic disease. | en_US |
