  • Title: [Strengthen the study of several issues on diagnosis and treatment of the corneal herpetic endotheliitis].
    Author: Shi WY.
    Journal: Zhonghua Yan Ke Za Zhi; 2011 Jan; 47(1):4-6. PubMed ID: 21418919.
    Abstract:
    Herpes simplex keratitis (HSK), including epithelial keratitis, stromal keratitis, and endotheliitis, is one of the major blinding eye diseases in China. Corneal herpetic endotheliitis has a variety of clinical manifestations, which causes much difficulty for diagnosis and treatment. This paper suggests a uniform classification of corneal herpetic endotheliitis, which helps to the set up and wide application of a standard treatment protocol. As a result, the cure rate would be increased significantly, corneal endothelium loss due to misdiagnosis would be reduced, and finally the blindness rate of HSK would be lowered.
