Abstract:
:Acyclovir, an oral antiviral agent that inhibits viral DNA replication, was used to treat 27 patients (16 males, 11 females) (mean age, 50 years) with vision-threatening herpes simplex virus (HSV) infections. Twenty patients had active stromal keratitis or keratouveitis, four had controlled nonnecrotizing stromal keratitis but could not taper topical medications, and four eczema patients with previous HSV infections had intraocular surgery (1 of these patients also is included in the 20 with active stromal keratitis). All 20 patients with active stromal keratitis or keratouveitis improved on acyclovir, all four patients using acyclovir postoperatively were disease-free while on the drug, but only two of the four patients using acyclovir to assist tapering topical medications were successful. There has been only one recurrence during a cumulative 194 months while on acyclovir. Thirteen patients have remained on acyclovir, and three who stopped acyclovir had prompt recurrences. Acyclovir seems to be a promising adjunct antiviral agent for the treatment of recalcitrant epithelial, stromal, or uveal disease secondary to HSV.
