    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Virology
    • Infectious Diseases

    Background:

    • Herpes simplex virus (HSV) and herpes zoster virus (HZV) are common causes of ocular disease.
    • Corneal manifestations of HSV and HZV infections can be diverse and challenging to diagnose.
    • Early recognition and appropriate management are crucial to prevent vision-threatening complications.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To review the clinical features of herpes simplex and herpes zoster keratitis.
    • To outline the available treatment strategies for these viral corneal diseases.
    • To enhance primary care clinicians' awareness of these conditions.

    Main Methods:

    • Literature review of clinical presentations and treatment outcomes for HSV and HZV ocular infections.
    • Synthesis of current evidence on diagnostic criteria and therapeutic interventions.

    Related Experiment Videos

  • Focus on information relevant to primary care settings.

    • Main Results:

    • HSV and HZV present with a spectrum of corneal pathologies, including epithelial keratitis, stromal keratitis, and uveitis.
    • Treatment options vary based on the specific viral etiology and clinical presentation, ranging from antiviral medications to supportive care.
    • Prompt diagnosis and initiation of appropriate antiviral therapy can significantly improve outcomes and reduce recurrence.

    Conclusions:

    • Herpes simplex and herpes zoster are significant causes of viral eye disease, necessitating clinical vigilance.
    • Primary care providers play a vital role in the initial diagnosis and management of these conditions.
    • Understanding the varied clinical manifestations and treatment options is essential for optimal patient care and visual preservation.
