Graefe's Archive for Clinical and Experimental Ophthalmology Aug 22, 2020
Ceran BB, et al. - Via performing a cross-sectional study of 93 COVID-19 patients comprising of 20 patients with at least one ocular abnormality, researchers sought to report on the ocular manifestations of COVID-19. In addition, they examined correlation between ocular involvement and clinical presentation and laboratory outcomes. Among patients with ocular abnormality, the most common findings were hyperemia (n = 20), epiphora (n = 9), increased secretion (n = 6), chemosis (n = 3), follicular conjunctivitis (n = 2), and episcleritis (n = 2). Observations suggest older age, high fever, increased neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio, and high levels of acute phase reactants as risk factors for ocular involvement.
