Abstract
Viral infections of the external eye range from benign to malignant, from a transient keratitis of mononucleosis to the progressive sarcoma associated with AIDS. Transient acute follicular conjunctivitis, with or without keratitis, may be seen with any of the DNA or RNA agents. The former include the herpes viruses, adenoviruses, poxviruses, and papillomaviruses. The latter include the paramyxoviruses (measles, mumps, and Newcastle disease), the retrovirus (HIV), the picornavirus of acute hemorrhagic conjunctivitis, the togaviruses (rubella and arbovirus), and the orthomyxovirus (influenza). With the exception of congenital rubella, the RNA viruses tend to be more benign and the DNA viruses more associated with a notable ocular morbidity and loss of vision. Many, but not all, of the organisms that most seriously affect the anterior segment are amenable to therapy; however, some progress with our best efforts, and others need only palliative treatment. Diagnostic tests and currently available antiviral and antiinflammatory agents are briefly reviewed, followed by a discussion of the clinical disease and management of the major anterior ocular viral infections.
