Abstract

HSV associated ocular diseases comprise a number of clinical entities: blepharitis, keratoconjunctivitis, dendritic epithelial keratitis, herpetic corneal ulcerations, stromal keratitis, endothelitis-trabeculitis, keratouveitis, and acute retinal necrosis syndrome. The most common complication of viral anterior uveitis is the secondary glaucoma. Surgical intervention is rarely taken into consideration because of the good prognosis of the disease. In this case the risk of glaucoma development has been considered and topical steroids were used in the active periods except on dentritic ulcer complication. The clinical course of patients showed us in the treatment of herpetic keratouveitis the dose and duration of using oral, topical acyclovir and topical steroids should be carefully evaluated for each patient.

Özet

HSV’e eşlik eden hastalıkların klinik dağılımı blefarit, keratokonjonktivit, dendritik epitelyal keratit, herpetik kornea ülserasyonu, stromal keratit, endothelit-trabeculit, keratoüveit ve akut retinal nekroz sendromundan oluşur. Viral ön üveitlerde en sık görülen komplikasyon sekonder glokom gelişmesidir. İyi prognozlu bir kliniğe sahip olmasının yanında nadiren cerrahi müdahale gerektirir. Olgumuzda aktif dönemlerde gelişebilecek olan glokom riski gözönüne alınıp tedavi sürecinde dentritik ülser tablosu dışındaki zamanlarda topikal steroid kullanıldı. Bu olgunun klinik gidişatı göstermektedir ki, herpetik keratoüveit tedavisinde oral Asiklovir kullanımının dozu ve süresi ve topikal kullanılacak steroid ve antiviral ilaçların kullanımı her hasta için dikkatlice değerlendirilmelidir.
