First page of Monkeypox related keratitis: case series

Introduction: To investigate the ophthalmic manifestations and management of a series of patients with Monkeypox related keratitis. Case presentation: Two cases diagnosed with monkeypox related keratitis were reviewed. The first case was for a young lady who presented to the emergency room with ring shape infiltration after a history of body rash. While the second case was for a child who presented to the emergency room with a picture of viral conjunctivitis along with body rash then he developed ring shaped corneal infiltrate. Both patients were diagnosed through viral PCR and treated successfully with antiviral therapy. Conclusion: monkeypox-related keratitis is a rare but potentially sight-threatening complication of monkeypox infection. Early recognition and appropriate management are essential in order to minimize the risk of permanent vision loss.
