Herpesvirus simplex in chronic human stromal keratitis.

D Coupes, P E Klapper, G M Cleator

    Current Eye Research

    Summary

    Researchers developed a method to isolate Herpes Simplex Virus (HSV) from corneal tissue in chronic stromal keratitis patients. The study successfully detected HSV in 2 of 8 corneal discs, aiding in understanding viral persistence.

    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Virology
    • Microbiology

    Background:

    • Chronic stromal keratitis is often associated with Herpes Simplex Virus (HSV) reactivation.
    • Identifying the causative agent in persistent ocular infections is crucial for effective treatment.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe a novel method for isolating Herpes Simplex Virus (HSV) from corneal tissue.
    • To assess the prevalence of HSV in corneal discs from patients with chronic stromal keratitis.

    Main Methods:

    • Corneal discs were obtained from patients undergoing penetrating keratoplasty for chronic stromal keratitis.
    • A method for the in vitro isolation of virus from these corneal discs was employed.

    Main Results:

    • Herpes Simplex Virus (HSV) was successfully isolated from 2 out of the 8 corneal discs analyzed.

  • This indicates the presence of viable virus in a subset of affected corneal tissues.

    • Conclusions:

    • The described method is effective for isolating HSV from corneal tissue.
    • These findings suggest that HSV can persist in corneal tissue, contributing to chronic stromal keratitis.
