| Abstract;A 24-year-old female presented with decreased vision in her left eye since the previous day. She had had high fever and painful swelling in both earlobes for about one week. Her corrected visual acuity was 1.2 right and 0.01 left. The left eye had intraocular pressure of 34mmHg with severe ciliary injection and corneal stromal edema. She was given topical corticosteroid for keratitis and secondary glaucoma. Diagnosis of mumps was established because of epidemic parotitis in her eldest son, typical systemic manifestations of mumps, and elevated titer of serum hemagglutination inhibition test against mumps antibody. Her corneal endotheliitis healed 40 days later. The corneal endothelial cell population in the left eye was 1,442mm2 and was reduced to about 50% of that in her right eye. This case illustrates that mumps keratitis may improve soon but that it may cause marked reduction in corneal endothelial cells. (author abst.) |
