Amniotic membrane transplantation in bacterial and herpetic stromal keratitis.
BACKGROUND/AIM The aim of this study was to describe the results of amniotic membrane transplantation (AMT) in patients with bacterial and herpetic stromal keratitis. MATERIALS AND METHODS This was a retrospective chart review study including 42 patients with herpetic keratitis (group 1) and 42 patients with bacterial keratitis (group 2). AMT was performed in addition to antimicrobial therapy...
متن کاملAmniotic membrane transplantation induces apoptosis in T lymphocytes in murine corneas with experimental herpetic stromal keratitis.
PURPOSE To investigate the effect of human amniotic membrane transplantation (AMT) on T-cell immune response in murine corneas with herpetic stromal keratitis (HSK). METHODS Herpes simplex virus (HSV)-1-infected BALB/c mice with necrotizing HSK were treated with AMT. CD3(+) cell apoptosis was determined in treated corneas and in vitro by flow cytometric analysis using the annexin V/7-AAD syst...
متن کاملHerpetic Stromal Keratitis following Selective Laser Trabeculoplasty
This is a case report describing two cases of disciform corneal edema following uncomplicated selective laser trabeculoplasty (SLT) thought to be secondary to herpes simplex virus (HSV) given the presence of a dendrite, decreased corneal sensation, corneal thinning, and response to therapy with oral and topical antivirals. Corneal edema after SLT treatment has been reported before, but the etio...
متن کاملTherapeutic effect of amniotic membrane in persistent epithelial defects and corneal ulcers in herpetic keratitis.
Amniotic membrane transplantation (AMT) promotes rapid epithelialization and reduces stromal inflammation and ulceration in HSV-1 keratitis. 18 patients with non-healing epithelial defect or corneal ulcer caused by herpetic keratitis were included in the study. All patients were treated by AMT. Corneal epithelial cells in patients suffering from herpetic keratitis secreted 5+/-4.8 pg/ml of IL-1...
متن کاملEffectiveness of levamisole on stromal herpetic keratitis.
Stromal herpetic keratitis has a poor prognosis. To date, corticosteroids appear to be the most efficatious agents against the condition. However, corticosteroids are immuno6uppresive, and may cause recurrences. The recent findings of decreased cellular immunity in the condition offer the possibility of using levamisole as the therapeutic agent. The present investigation was undertaken to evalu...
