Resumen

Esta serie retrospectiva de casos tiene como objetivo describir las manifestaciones oftálmicas de la infección por el virus de la viruela del mono en siete pacientes evaluados en dos países de América del Sur (Colombia y Brasil). Dos presentaban lesiones cutáneas en el párpado y cinco conjuntivitis. Ninguno presentaba afectación intraocular. Tres de los siete pacientes tenían antecedentes de infección por el virus de la inmunodeficiencia humana y todos presentaban lesiones en la región genital, lo que sugiere transmisión por contacto sexual. En 6 de los 7 casos, la RT-PCR conjuntival fue positiva para el virus de la viruela del mono, incluido un caso sin vesículas conjuntivales. En todos los casos, las lesiones se resolvieron sin complicaciones, y sólo dos requirieron tratamiento antiviral. Todos los pacientes mostraron una mejoría sin complicaciones. La positividad de la RT-PCR en la conjuntiva demostró la presencia del virus de la viruela del mono, lo que sugiere que la transmisión por vía ocular podría ser plausible. Los oftalmólogos deben ser conscientes de esta manifestación oftálmica.
