description We report an incident case of herpetic keratitis in a renal transplant recipient treated for acute renal allograft rejection. A lady in her forties, a renal transplant recipient on treatment for allograft rejection, was referred with mild ocular symptoms in the right eye for two days. On evaluation, she had mild conjunctival hyperemia and extensive herpetic epithelial keratitis involving the limbal and central corneas. The patient healed without sequelae from the antivirals and lubricants. Viral keratitis in immunosuppressed patients should be suspected, even in patients with mild symptoms, as early initiation of treatment can prevent rapid stromal involvement and scarring.
