Fig. 1.2 (a–h) Rounded/abnormal cells (arrowheads), individual or grouped, captured in different individuals at various points of time after symptom onset: (a) 5 days, Ad8; (b) 1 week, Ad4; (c) 1 month, Ad8; (d) 3 months, Ad8; (e) 8 months, Ad8; (f) 8.5 months, Ad8; (g, h) 11 days, Ad8; (h) shows the light-reflecting property of the rounded/abnormal cells (the arrowheads in g and h are placed in corresponding locations). For further examples see Chap. 2–4. (i) For comparison, inflammatory cells (arrowhead) on the endothelium in anterior uveitis unrelated to adenovirus infection

Fig. 1.3 (a) Cyst-like structures (black arrowhead) and rounded/abnormal cells (white arrowhead) 1 week after symptom onset (Ad4). (b) Protruding cyst-like structures (arrowhead) appear dark in the green stained tear film. The brilliantly green dot (arrow) indicates fluorescein penetration into a semi-cystic space (5 days after symptom onset; Ad8). (c) Brilliantly green dots (straight arrows), individual or grouped, and smaller (arrowhead) or larger (bowed arrow) surface elevations appearing dark in the green stained tear film (17 days after symptom onset; Ad8)
