    Author: Genée E, Maith J.
    Journal: Klin Monbl Augenheilkd; 1987 Jul; 191(1):30-2. PubMed ID: 3309444.
    Abstract:
    In a double-blind clinical trial 28 patients with primary and recurrent herpetic corneal ulcerations were treated either with 3% Acyclovir eye ointment or 3% Adenosine Arabinoside eye ointment. In 11 out of 14 (78%) patients treated with Acyclovir and 8 out of 14 (57%) patients treated with Adenosine Arabinoside the ulcerations healed within a treatment period of 6.5 days and 8 days respectively (no statistical significance). However, the results revealed that Acyclovir was more effective. Both drugs were well tolerated.
