Bromovinyldeoxyuridine and interferon treatment in ulcerative herpetic keratitis: a double masked study.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Bromovinyldeoxyuridine is a potent and safe antiherpes compound that in combination with a placebo treatment promoted the partial and complete healing of herpetic epithelial disease in 22 patients in average times of 4-6 days and 8.5 days respectively. However, when BVDU was combined with 1.5 X 10(6) IU of recombinant a 2C interferon, partial and complete healing times for keratitis in 19 patients were reduced to 2-6 days and 4-6 days respectively. No toxic effects of the medications were observed in any patient.

متن کاملExperimental ulcerative herpetic keratitis. II. Influence of topical corticosteroid in immunised rabbits.
Since the great majority of patients possess immune response to herpes simplex virus (HSV), the influence of a topical anti-inflammatory corticosteroid (0.1% clobetasone butyrate) on ulcerative herpetic keratitis was studied in rabbits with a previous HSV skin infection (immunised) and compared with that in normal rabbits. Corticosteroid treatment had a much greater ulceration-exacerbating effe...
