Article Synopsis
  • Phlyctenular keratoconjunctivitis is an inflammatory eye condition caused by a type IV hypersensitivity reaction, characterized by inflamed nodules, and can progress to more severe issues like nodular scleritis, particularly in patients with underlying infections like HSV-2.
  • A 66-year-old woman initially diagnosed with keratoconjunctivitis displayed symptoms that progressed to conjunctival phlyctenule, where HSV-2 was identified as a contributing factor, and her condition improved significantly with oral antiviral treatment.
