[Clinical and therapeutic features of herpetic ocular lesions in immunosuppressed patients]

Clinical and therapeutic features of herpetic ocular lesions, which developed in 10 eyes of 9 patients with immune systems suppressed due to immunosuppressive treatment were evaluated. Although the herpetic ocular lesions in these patients did not exhibit extraordinary morphological patterns, it was noticeable that they were more widespread in extent with rapid course of development. Complete healing of the lesions essentially needed employment of topical acyclovir ointment for relatively extended period of time.
