6.9 SARS-CoV-2 – ocular risk |
| T354 |
30-347 |
Sentence |
denotes |
The ACE2 receptors are also widely distributed in the superficial parts such as conjunctiva and cornea inferior parts such as iris, ciliary body, aqueous humor, trabecular meshwork, retina, and non-pigmented ciliary epithelium of the ocular globe which is mentioned out to be the intraocular renin-angiotensin system. |
| T355 |
348-502 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Therefore, the distribution of ACE2 and TMPRSS2 protein must be taken into consideration to study the passage of infection through the ocular route [116]. |
| T356 |
503-717 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Also, there is a chance for the virus to enter into the nasal cavity, which causes respiratory illness and the digestive system through the lacrimal canaliculi aided by the effectiveness of the tear film [117,118]. |
| T357 |
718-893 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Out of 38 COVID-19 positive patients, 12 exhibited clinical manifestations, which include chemosis, epiphora, increased secretions, conjunctivitis, and conjunctival hyperemia. |
| T358 |
894-1129 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Researchers reported that patients exhibiting ocular symptoms would have elevated neutrophilic and lymphocytic counts, elated procalcitonin, lactate dehydrogenase, and C-reactive protein levels than those without ocular manifestations. |
| T359 |
1130-1201 |
Sentence |
denotes |
The patients with ocular manifestations exhibited severe illness [119]. |
| T360 |
1202-1426 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Even though there is no such evidence, the presence of ACE2 and TMPRSS2 protein in the corneal limbal stem cells suggests that the SARS-CoV-2 may enter the bloodstream and travel to the other parts including the brain [120]. |
| T361 |
1427-1606 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Even though there is no viral load in the conjunctiva of the SARS-CoV-2 infected patients without conjunctivitis, the risk of transmission of the virus through tears is low [121]. |
| T362 |
1607-1695 |
Sentence |
denotes |
The exact mechanism behind the ocular risk and SARS-CoV-2 need to be elucidated further. |
