Patterns of Ocular Involvement and Associated Factors in Adult Measles: A Retrospective Study from a Romanian Tertiary Hospital
Ocular lesions were highly prevalent in hospitalized adult measles cases during the 2023-2024 Romanian epidemic wave, and keratitis was common. Ocular involvement correlated with mucosal disease expression and systemic inflammatory activation. Systematic ophthalmologic assessment should be considered during measles epidemic peaks to improve early identification of clinically relevant ocular complications.
