Abstract
- This study was performed to elucidate the cytologic characteristics of pseudomembrane, which was obtained from eight patients with epidemic keratoconjunctivltis. The predominant cells consisted of lymphocytes and degenerated epithelial cells with a few polymorphonuclear leukocytes and fibrin. Electron micrographs revealed the nuclear segregation, vermicellar body, viral microtubules, and intranuclear inclusion body. These findings suggest that the desquamated epithelial cell was infected by adenovirus.
