Abstract:
:Intracerebral inoculation of mice with the MS strain of type 2 herpes simplex virus (HSV-2) causes a brief encephalitis associated with multifocal central nervous system demyelination. Many of the mice develop unilateral or bilateral impairment of the pupillary light reflex. We have examined the development of ocular disease in inbred NIH mice inoculated intracerebrally with a low dose (10 pfu) of HSV-2 (MS). The resulting acute encephalitis was fatal in 30-50% of the mice. By 1 month after inoculation, the pupillary response to light was absent or impaired in approximately 80% of the surviving mice. Infectious virus could be isolated from the trigeminal ganglia and optic nerves from day 2 and from the eyes by day 4. Viral antigen was first immunohistochemically detectable in the optic nerves on day 5 and in the retinae on day 6. During the second week after inoculation up to half of the mice developed unilateral or bilateral necrotising retinitis associated with high titres of virus in the eyes and abundant viral antigen in the retinae. Electron microscopy confirmed the presence of viral particles in the retinae, in glia and degenerating neurons. No viral antigen was detected in the corneas and only rarely was antigen found in the ciliary body or iris. Infectious virus persisted longer in the eyes than in the trigeminal ganglia or optic nerves and could still be isolated from a few of the animals 2 weeks after inoculation. By 1 month the titres of virus within the eyes had fallen to undetectable levels.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
