Recurrent herpetic keratitis3
Case A 6-year-old healthy Caucasian girl, with a family history of maternal grandfather with recurrent herpetic keratitis, developed acute-onset headache, fever, decreased level of consciousness, aphasia, and right hemiparesis. (antinmdafoundation.org)
The patient's grandfather had history of severe recurrent herpetic keratitis but at the time our patient was studied, he was deceased, and no genetic studies were available. (antinmdafoundation.org)
If we're talking about the kind of patient who has had a keratitis as a manifestation of the disease, I'd definitely proceed with caution with an excimer laser, and if someone has a history of recurrent herpetic keratitis, I'd strongly reconsider whether the surgery was a smart idea.

Lesions6
Dendritic lesions of the cornea can be seen with fluoroscein stain and a cobalt blue light of direct ophthalmoscope. (chop.edu)
Trifluridine decreases ocular HSV-1 recovery, but not herpetic lesions after timolol iontophoresis. (uchicago.edu)
Herpetic infections typically have tell-tale corneal and eyelid lesions that will allow your doctor to prescribe the proper medication. (eyedolatryblog.com)
Both viruses produce uncomfortable and sometimes painful lesions in the orofacial and genital areas, as well as herpetic gingivostomatitis, among other clinical manifestations. (frontiersin.org)
However, such drugs are poorly effective for treating skin lesions, as they only reduce in 1-2 days the duration of the herpetic lesions. (frontiersin.org)
Evaluation of the algae extracts as topical formulations in an animal model of HSV-1 skin infection significantly reduced the severity of the disease more than acyclovir, as well as the duration of the herpetic lesions, when compared to mock-treated animals, with the D. antarctica extract performing best. (frontiersin.org)
Conjunctivitis1
Patients with reactivations can also develop keratitis, conjunctivitis or uveitis, each of which has its own sequellae. (reviewofophthalmology.com)
Cornea2
Keratitis is a condition in which the eye 's cornea , the clear dome on the front surface of the eye, becomes inflamed . (wikipedia.org)
Exposure keratitis (also known as exposure keratopathy) - due to dryness of the cornea caused by incomplete or inadequate eyelid closure ( lagophthalmos ). (wikipedia.org)
Viral1
However, Giemsa stained smear showed the presence of multinucleated giant cells, with characteristic molding of nuclei (Fig. 1B ), suggesting infectious keratitis, probably of a viral etiology. (biomedcentral.com)
Acanthamoeba1
On May 25, 2007, the U.S. Center for Disease Control issued a health advisory due to increased risk of Acanthamoeba keratitis associated with use of Advanced Medical Optics Complete Moisture Plus Multi-Purpose eye solution. (wikipedia.org)
Infectious keratitis can progress rapidly, and generally requires urgent antibacterial, antifungal, or antiviral therapy to eliminate the pathogen. (wikipedia.org)
Fluorescein1
Fluorescein staining revealed positive corneal staining in a dendritic pattern. (chop.edu)
Severe1
Exclusion criteria were: a history of herpetic eye disease or corneal dystrophy, any topographic evidence of warpage or keratoconus from contact lenses, glaucoma, corneal scarring, and severe dry eye (Schirmer's with anesthesia less than 5mm), systemic and collagen vascular diseases. (researchsquare.com)
Rash1
The worsening of a rash with topical steroid use is suspicious for herpetic dermatitis as well. (chop.edu)
Occur2
Recurrence of HSV keratitis is more likely to occur in children, with a rate above 50% and a mean time to recurrence of 13 months. (chop.edu)
Whereas most cases of HSV keratitis are diagnosed based on clinical exam, atypical presentations benefit from laboratory confirmation to more rapidly and definitively confirm a diagnosis. (chop.edu)
Steroids2
Aciclovir is the mainstay of treatment for HSV keratitis and steroids should be avoided at all costs in this condition. (wikipedia.org)
Application of steroids to a dendritic ulcer caused by HSV will result in rapid and significant worsening of the ulcer to form an 'amoeboid' or 'geographic' ulcer, so named because of the ulcer's map like shape. (wikipedia.org)
Disease2
found that in children with herpetic blepharoconjunctivitis (HBC), there appears to be an increased rate of asthma, atopy, and systemic disease. (chop.edu)

Pediatric1
most recently reported final vision of 20/40 or worse in 10 of 39 eyes (26%) of their pediatric patients with HSV keratitis. (chop.edu)
Taken together, these findings suggest that these algae extracts may be potential phytotherapeutics against HSVs and may be useful for the treatment and reduction of common herpetic manifestations in humans. (frontiersin.org)
Examination1
Figure 1: Herpetic dendrites On examination, there were multiple, discrete, and coalescing vesicles on an erythematous base along the left lower lid. (chop.edu)
Cell2
4. The tryptophan metabolite 3-hydroxyanthranilic acid suppresses T cell responses by inhibiting dendritic cell activation. (kseh.kr)
Antigens are taken up by antigen- presenting cells (APCs) such as dendritic cells (DCs) and macrophages and processed into peptides which are loaded onto major histocompatibility complex (MHC) molecules for presentation to T cells via clonotypic T cell receptors (TCRs). (jontristermd.com)
Figure1
Functional studies on patient's fibroblasts (figure, C) and monocyte-derived dendritic cells showed a decrease in TLR3-mediated activation (methods in appendix e-1, links.lww.com/NXI/A141). (antinmdafoundation.org)
Risk1
In addition, patients are at risk for refractive amblyopia caused by keratitis-induced astigmatism. (chop.edu)
