Ocular surface: A route for SARS CoV-2 transmission- a case report

SARS-CoV-2 infections are transmitted through droplets or through direct contact with secretions from an infected person. The transmission of the virus through tears and other body secretions remains controversial. PCR detection of Covid-19 in the samples/swabs taken from nasopharynx, CSF fluid, and...

description SARS-CoV-2 infections are transmitted through droplets or through direct contact with secretions from an infected person. The transmission of the virus through tears and other body secretions remains controversial. PCR detection of Covid-19 in the samples/swabs taken from nasopharynx, CSF fluid, and tears, clarifies that the virus may be transmitted through the modes other than aerosol droplets or direct contact. In order to control and prevent this infectious disease, cutting-off the route of transmission will be one of the most important steps. SARS-CoV-2 RNA has been detected in tears and conjunctival samples of patients. The ocular tropism of Covid-19 is still uncertain but contentious.
