Fluorescence of ocular surface in a Covid-19 patient after Favipiravir treatment: a case report

Mehmet Ali Doran et al.

Summary: Background: Favipiravir is used to treat Covid-19 patients. We reported a case of ocular surface fluorescence in a patient after Favipiravir treatment. The patient, a 20-year-old male, presented with blurry vision and blue light reflection following Favipiravir treatment for Covid-19. Fluorescence was observed in both eyes and nails, with insignificant findings on biomicroscopic examination. Investigation showed that Favipiravir tablets exhibit fluorescence under ultraviolet light, providing strong evidence of a link between ocular surface fluorescence and Favipiravir.
