Corneal sensation and subbasal nerve alterations in patients with herpes simplex keratitis: an in vivo confocal microscopy study.
PURPOSE To study and correlate corneal sensation in patients with herpes simplex keratitis (HSK) with density and morphologic features of subbasal corneal nerves by in vivo confocal microscopy (IVCM). DESIGN Prospective, cross-sectional, controlled, single-center study. PARTICIPANTS Thirty-one eyes with the diagnosis of acute (n = 7) or chronic (n = 24) HSK and their contralateral clinicall...

purpose: to investigate confocal scan features of corneal subbasal nerve plexus and epithelial dendritic cells in herpes simplex keratitis (hsk) as compared to acanthamoeba keratitis (ak). methods: confocal scan records of patients with clinical and confocal microscopic features compatible with hsk and ak as well as confocal scan records of normal participants were reviewed. the density and mor...
متن کاملSelective changes in human corneal sensation associated with herpes simplex virus keratitis.
PURPOSE To determine corneal sensitivity to selective mechanical, chemical, and thermal (heat and cold) stimulation in patients with a history of herpes simplex virus (HSV) keratitis. METHODS Corneal sensitivity to different modalities of stimulus was determined in both eyes of 16 patients with unilateral HSV keratitis diagnosed 1 to 12 months before the study. On slit lamp examination, 13 HS...
متن کاملCorneal transplantation for herpes simplex keratitis.
We conducted a retrospective study of 107 penetrating keratoplasties in 99 eyes (99 patients) performed from 1970 to 1979 at the Wills Eye Hospital. The follow-up periods ranged from one to 12 years (median, three years). Overall, 86 of the 107 transplants (80%) remained clear and 63 eyes (59%) achieved good to excellent visual acuities (20/60 or better). Preoperative vascularization was not a ...
متن کاملHerpes simplex keratitis in renal transplant patients.
Five out of 430 patients (1.16%) undergoing kidney transplantation developed an atypical clinical picture of herpetic dendritic keratitis within four weeks after surgery. It was manifested by multiple dendrites, located mainly in the corneal periphery or the limbus, developing in relatively uninflamed eyes. The response to acyclovir therapy was prolonged and took at least three weeks. Additiona...
