Corneal 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 ...

Considerable information has been accumulated concerning the herpes virus and its relationship to man, its natural host (Table VI). It is evident that to control the diseases produced, by the virus it is essential that some means be found not only to control the acute manifestations but also to eliminate the harbored virus from the readily available supply in the numerous ubiquitous carriers. A...
متن کاملHerpes Simplex Keratitis: Bilateral Effects.
Müller et al. studied corneal nerve morphology and endothelial cell density (ECD) in patients with and without unilateral herpes simplex keratitis (HSK). They demonstrated correlated reductions in corneal central ECD, subbasal nerve number and length, and sensation in both the affected and clinically unaffected contralateral eyes. They suggest a potential link between corneal innervation and en...
متن کاملHerpes simplex keratitis in children.
Ophthalmic findings are reported in 31 eyes of 28 children with herpes simplex keratitis. Twenty two had dendritic ulcers, and nine had geographic ulcers or disciform stromal keratitis. After resolution of keratitis, 80% (19/22) of children with dendritic ulcers achieved corrected visual acuity of 6/9 or better, 50% (11/22) had induced astigmatism, 45% (9/22) had one to five recurrences. In the...
