Effect of flurbiprofen on herpes simplex keratitis in rabbits.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The rabbit ocular model was used to determine if flurbiprofen, a new nonsteroidal antiinflammatory agent, caused exacerbation of herpes simplex virus (HSV) infection. Acute ocular HSV infections treated with flurbiprofen (0.1%) or dexamethasone (0.1%) drops four times a day for 10 days were similar in severity and duration as measured by corneal lesions, conjunctivitis, and corneal clouding. Eyes receiving placebo healed more rapidly than eyes treated with either anti-inflammatory drug. This preliminary study suggests that flurbiprofen appears to be comparable with dexamethasone in clinical exacerbation of acute ocular HSV infection.

Effect of Iudr and Amethopterin on Experimental Herpes Simplex Keratitis.
In qualitative experiments, virus was recovered as regularly from herpes simplex virus-infected rabbits receiving IUDR as from control rabbits. In a quantitative experiment performed on a few rabbits, virus was recovered in the same titer from lUDR-treated rabbits as from control rabbits for the first 2 days of therapy. Not until the third day was a lower titer observed in the IUDR-treated rabb...

The use of steroidal compounds to reduce the inflammation and scarring associated with herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) stromal keratitis can result in severe exacerbation of the corneal disease. We compared the nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) flurbiprofen sodium with dexamethasone for the treatment of HSV-1 induced corneal stromal disease in an inbred mouse model. Stromal diseas...

متن کاملExperimental ulcerative herpetic keratitis. II. Influence of topical corticosteroid in immunised rabbits.
Since the great majority of patients possess immune response to herpes simplex virus (HSV), the influence of a topical anti-inflammatory corticosteroid (0.1% clobetasone butyrate) on ulcerative herpetic keratitis was studied in rabbits with a previous HSV skin infection (immunised) and compared with that in normal rabbits. Corticosteroid treatment had a much greater ulceration-exacerbating effe...
