متن کاملBilateral herpetic keratitis.
Thirty patients with bilateral herpetic keratitis were evaluated, 40% of whom were atopic. Stromal keratitis occurred in 40% of the eyes and recurrent ulceration in 68%. Four patients (5 eyes) developed secondary microbial keratitis. Visual acuity decreased to 6/60 or less because of corneal opacification in 17% of the eyes.
متن کاملLimbal stem-cell transplantation.
Cornea epithelium is subject to constant trauma and shedding of the surface epithelium, and replenishment is from epithelial cells beneath and peripheral to the central desquamating epithelium. The origin of the corneal epithelium appears to reside in the crypts of Vogt, where a population of "immortal" stem cells resides, possessing enormous potential for clonogenic cell division. These cells,...
متن کاملSystemic immunity in herpetic keratitis.
The importance of specific immunity, especially cell-mediated, in resistance to herpes simplex disease is well documented, and animal experiments show that immune responses to previous herpetic infection can give considerable protection against reinfection in epithelial keratitis. Since susceptibility to stromal herpetic keratitis is probably determined in part by the extent of virus proliferat...
متن کاملLong-term Outcome of Limbal Stem Cell Transplantation for the Management of Total Limbal Stem Cell Deficiency due to a Chemical Burn
Purpose: To evaluate the long-term outcome of limbal stem cell transplantation (LSCT) for the management of total limbal stem cell deficiency (LSCD) due to chemical burn in Labbafinejad Medical Center (LMC). Methods: Records of patients with a history of severe (i.e. grade III and IV) chemical burns, who were referred to LMC and underwent LSCT, were reviewed and data including demographic chara...
