Abstract:
To study the secretion of epidermic growth factor (EGF) in tears from patients with herpes simplex virus keratitis (HSVK), radio-immunoprecipitation was used to detect the value of EGF in human reflex tears from 40 cases as control group (group A), 49 cases of acute HSVK (group B) and 31 cases of convalescence HSVK (group C). Results showed that the value of EGF in reflex tears from the patients in the group B was obviously increased as compared with that in the group A and group C (P<0.001). The value of EGF in tears in the group C was higher than in group A (P<0.05). It was concluded that the value of EGF in reflex tears from HSVK patients was higher than that from normal people.
