ABSTRACT
Infectious keratitis is an important cause of ocular morbidity across the globe and can affect people of all ages. Viruses, bacteria and fungi are responsible for the majority of the cases, while protozoa and other parasites are amongst the less commonly implicated micro-organisms. The various viral infections that can affect the cornea can be broadly grouped under the following categories: herpes simplex keratitis; varicella zoster induced keratitis and adenoviral keratitis; cytomegalovirus keratitis; measles and rubella infection. A 30-year-old female presented with symptoms of photophobia, watering and mild diminution of vision in her left eye of three days duration. A 32-year-old male presented with symptoms of mild photophobia, pain, watering and diminution of vision in his left eye for three days. A 32-year-old male presented to our outpatient department with a history of diminution of vision and photophobia in both his eyes for the past three days.
