  • Title: [Early treatment of ocular herpes simplex. Apropos of 6 cases of herpetic conjunctivitis].
    Author: Colin J, Chastel C.
    Journal: J Fr Ophtalmol; 1985; 8(12):801-2. PubMed ID: 3938787.
    Abstract:
    Six patients with previous history of herpetic keratitis were seen during the 48 first hours after the out set of a conjunctivitis. Herpes simplex virus type 1 was isolated in all cases. Treated immediately with trifluorothymidine, they healed quickly without developing any corneal lesions. These data suggest the use of early antiviral treatment in patients with recurrent herpetic keratitis, even preventive therapy in at risk patients in well known predisposing conditions.
