    Abstract:
    Sixteen patients with relapsing or chronic HSV keratouveitis were treated during a new attack by acyclovir 15 mg/kg/day by the i.v. route for 5 days with local combination of acyclovir 3% ung. and steroids. In all 16 patients improvement of signs of keratouveitis occurred on the fourth day of therapy, in 10 patients with improvement of visual acuity. In 5 patients perforating keratoplasty was performed on account of turbidity of the cornea. The authors observed four relapses of the disease in the course of 12 months after termination of treatment.
