Linear KPs and corneal edema in a post-keratoplasty cornea of the right eye. (A) Linear KPs emanating from the temporal limbus (white wedge). (B) Linear KPs crossing the donor and recipient junction (white wedge). (C) Localized edema on both the donor and recipient cornea (white arrow). KPs = keratic precipitates.

A subsequent slit lamp examination showed linear endothelial KPs, which seemed to emanate from the temporal limbus (Fig. 1A). The linear KPs crossed the host-graft junction and were evident on the endothelial side of both the donor and recipient corneas (Fig. 1B). Localized corneal edemas were evident on both the donor and recipient corneas (Fig. 1C).
Linear KPs and stromal edema were resolved after antiviral and immunosuppressive treatment. KPs = keratic precipitates.

One week after systemic antiviral treatment, the subjective symptoms had improved and the cornea edema and the linear endothelial KPs had disappeared (Fig. 2).
