Cytomegalovirus Corneal Endotheliitis Mimicking Graft Rejection After Corneal Transplantation
Post-keratoplasty CMV endotheliitis can be misdiagnosed as graft rejection, delaying appropriate treatment. Early detection through heightened awareness and PCR testing is critical for timely intervention. Higher-dose topical ganciclovir maintenance therapy may be more effective in reducing recurrence, though long-term monitoring remains crucial for optimal outcomes.
