چکیده
CASE REPORT We report the case of an immunocompetent male who presented with a limbal-adjacent scleritis and interstitial keratitis in the left eye. A few days later a new dendritiform ulcer in his right eye and bilateral progressive worsening with granulomatous uveitis in both eyes were observed. A thorough review of systems revealed positive serum IgM titles for herpes simplex virus. DISCUSSION In the context of a bilateral keratouveitis refractory to conventional treatment it is mandatory to rule out the herpetic origin based on the different forms of clinical presentation of this virus.
