Immunologic and antiviral therapy in herpetic keratitis

A group of 113 patients with herpetic keratitis who were administered besides the classical therapy (local and general) immunologic and antiviral treatments was studied. The following Romanian non-toxic preparations were used: "SRE Immunostimulent", "Moroxidin" chlorhydrate and "Antiherpin". The control group including 120 patients received a classical treatment and the first signs of recovery appeared after 30 days; in 32% of the patients recurrences, were recorded during the first year. The recovery of the patients included in the experimental lot (113) consisted in the disappearance of congestive phenomena after 3-4 days; recurrences occurred in 14% of the patients after 1, 2 or even 4 years, especially in those who received an incomplete treatment.
