Abstract
Genetic characterisation of herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) DNA isolated from a donor cornea before and after corneal transplantation demonstrated the transmission of HSV-1 through transplantation. This study is the first to provide conclusive evidence for the transmission of HSV-1 by penetrating keratoplasty with subsequent reactivation of donor derived HSV-1 in the transplanted cornea.
