Disease relevance of Keratitis, Dendritic

• Our results suggest that débridement alone is suboptimal therapy for herpes simplex dendritic keratitis and that débridement combined with trifluridine appears to offer no advantage over trifluridine alone [1].
• Herpes simplex dendritic keratitis after treatment with latanoprost for primary open angle glaucoma [2].

High impact information on Keratitis, Dendritic

• Combination therapy of dendritic keratitis with trifluorothymidine and interferon [3].
• In a double-blind study of acyclovir and idoxuridine in 60 patients with dendritic keratitis, acyclovir was shown to be superior and produced no serious side effects [4].
• No patient in the acyclovir group had a recurrence of dendritic keratitis in the first year compared with 5 (21%) of the patients who did not receive acyclovir (P = .03) [5].
• After concurrent treatment with nipradilol for 5 months, typical dendritic keratitis developed in the left eye [6].
• Fractal properties of herpes simplex dendritic keratitis [7].

• Combination therapy for dendritic keratitis with acyclovir and alpha-interferon [8].
• CONCLUSIONS: Review of the relative efficacy of topical ganciclovir and acyclovir in the treatment of herpes simplex dendritic keratitis showed that both treatment modalities were equally effective in their ability to heal the viral induced corneal ulceration [9].
• Combination therapy for dendritic keratitis with acyclovir and vidarabine [10].
• The double-stranded RNA interferon inducer polyinosinic-polycytidylic acid (In-Cn) was used to treat acute dendritic keratitis in man in a double-blind manner with IDU [11].
