Onchocerciasis is a major cause of blindness. Although the World Health Organization has been successful in reducing onchocerciasis as a public health problem in parts of West Africa, there remain an estimated 17 million people infected with Onchocerca volvulus, the parasite that causes this disease. Ocular pathology can be manifested in any part of the eye, although disease manifestations are ...
The authors have investigated the course of herpes simplex type 1 (HSV) keratitis in three different inbred strains of mice infected with four different HSV isolates. Severity of ocular disease and mortality is dependent upon both the virus isolate and the host strain. In particular, the likelihood of progression from self-limited dendritic keratitis to severe necrotizing stromal keratitis vari...
Keratitis is an inflammation of the cornea, which has both infectious and non-infectious etiology, among which infectious is more common. Non-infective keratitis may be caused by minor injuries, prolong contact lens usage, hypersensitivity responses, atopic conditions or some autoimmune disorders.

PURPOSE Macrophages are thought to be the first line of defense in many infectious diseases and are present in high numbers in corneas with Acanthamoeba keratitis. Conjunctival macrophage depletion was performed in an animal model of Acanthamoeba infection to determine the importance of macrophages in this disease. METHODS Selective elimination of macrophages was achieved by repeated subconju...

PURPOSE Mycotic keratitis is a major cause of corneal blindness in India. A proper understanding of the pathogenesis may help in refining the existing treatment. The purpose of this study is to examine the total tear protein profile of fungal keratitis patients, which may have a bearing on pathogenesis and disease progression. METHODS Tear samples were collected from culture positive fungal k...
