Interstitial Keratitis
Diagnosis of Interstitial Keratitis
An eye examination Blood tests Doctors suspect interstitial keratitis when they see an affected cornea in a person who also has a history of an infection such as syphilis. To examine the cornea, they usually use a Slit-Lamp Examination (an instrument that enables doctors to examine the eye under high magnification). Blood tests and other tests for syphilis, Lyme disease, and the Epstein-Barr virus are also done. People with interstitial keratitis and normal blood tests should be evaluated for Cogan Syndrome .
