1 Tear Fluid miRNA Analysis in Sars-Cov2 Conjunctivitis

The aim of this study is to assess the virus RNA, and miRNA levels related to viral infection, and inflammatory response in tears of hospitalized patients with a diagnosis of COVID-19 with and without conjunctivitis and to correlate them with clinical condition. Tears will be collected by using Schirmer Test I, a non invasive painless test which can be performed at the patient's bed. Tears will be collected on the graduated paper strips pulling the lower lid gently downward for 5 minutes. Following, the strip will be placed in a 2.0 mL Eppendorf tube and stored at −80◦C (or - 20°C)

NCT04346160 COVID Conjunctivitis Diagnostic Test: Schirmer Test I
MeSH:Conjunctivitis
HPO:Conjunctivitis

Primary Outcomes

Description: - to asses virus RNA and miRNA levels in tears

Measure: virus molecular analysis
