Symblepharon formation in epidemic keratoconjunctivitis
Cornea.
1990 Oct.
Abstract
Two case reports are presented in which patients with epidemic keratoconjunctivitis (EKC) develop symblepharon during the course of their infection. This report is the initial documentation of symblepharon formation in EKC and the first reported episode of conjunctival membrane formation in association with adenovirus type 2.
