  • Title: [Interstitial keratitis diagnosis and treatment (French translation of the article)].
    Author: Gauthier AS, Noureddine S, Delbosc B.
    Journal: J Fr Ophtalmol; 2020 Jan; 43(1):80-89. PubMed ID: 31870670.
    Abstract:
    Interstitial keratitis is a non-ulcerative, non-suppurative, more or less vascularized inflammation of the corneal stroma. The corneal lesions result from the host response to bacterial, viral (40% of cases) or parasitic antigens, or from an autoimmune response (1% of cases) without active corneal infection. The natural history of the disease is divided into two phases : acute and cicatricial. This type of keratitis is less common than ulcerative bacterial keratitis, but it is a non-negligible cause of visual loss. It is associated with systemic or infectious disease and requires early diagnosis and appropriate treatment to optimize visual prognosis and avoid other complications.
