    Differentiating herpes simplex and herpes zoster corneal lesions is crucial. Topical ocular stains and recognizing distinct zoster lesion patterns aid diagnosis, guiding appropriate corticosteroid use.

    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Virology
    • Dermatology

    Background:

    • Corneal epithelial lesions from herpes simplex virus (HSV) and herpes zoster virus (HZV) present diagnostic challenges.
    • Accurate differentiation is critical due to differing treatment protocols, particularly regarding topical corticosteroids.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To outline practical clinical methods for distinguishing between HSV and HZV epithelial corneal lesions.
    • To describe characteristic clinical presentations of HZV-induced corneal epithelial disease.

    Main Methods:

    • Utilizing topical ocular stains for clinical examination of corneal epithelial lesions.
    • Observing and documenting distinct patterns of HZV corneal epithelial disease, including early dendritic and delayed mucus plaque forms.

    Main Results:

    • Topical ocular stains are effective in differentiating corneal lesions caused by HSV and HZV.
    • HZV can manifest as an early dendritic lesion or a delayed form with mucus plaques on swollen, degenerating epithelial cells.
    • Mucus plaques in HZV disease may exhibit a dendriform pattern.

    Conclusions:

    • Clinical differentiation between HSV and HZV corneal epithelial lesions is essential for effective patient management.
    • Recognizing specific HZV corneal presentations aids in diagnosis.
    • Correct diagnosis ensures appropriate use of topical corticosteroids, which are contraindicated in HSV epithelial keratitis but often indicated for HZV epithelial keratitis.
