  • Title: [Superficial herpes simplex keratitis. Double-blind comparative trial of acyclovir and idoxuridine (author's transl)].
    Author: Colin J, Tournoux A, Chastel C, Renard G.
    Journal: Nouv Presse Med; 1981 Oct 10; 10(36):2969-70, 2975. PubMed ID: 7027178.
    Abstract:
    In a double-blind, randomized trial 52 patients with superficial herpes simplex keratitis were treated with a new antiviral compound, acylclovir (ACV) 3% ointment, or with idoxuridine (IDU) 0.5% ointment. No statistically significant difference was found in the number of patients cured with either drug, but healing was achieved more rapidly with ACV than with IDU.
