Abstract:
44 eyes (42 patients) of HSV keratitis were treated by a combined injection of poly Ⅰ: C, vitamine C and a small dose of dexamethasone with satisfactory results. 22 (88％) of 25 eyes of the superficial type were cured and 2 eyes(8％) improved; 13 (68.4％) of 19 eyes of the deep stromal type were cured and 3 eyes (15.8％) improved. The average therapeutic course was 13.6 days for the superficial type and 25.4 days for the deep stromal type. 4 eyes (19.1％) recurred during a follow-up of 6-22 months. The mechanism of curative effects and the significance of the small does of dexamethasone were discussed.
