Abstract. Purpose:To report the DNA level of varicella zoster virus(VZV)in the tear fluid of patients with herpes zoster ophthalmicus. Cases and Method:This study was made on 6 consecutive patients with keratoconjunctivitis as manifestation of herpes zoster ophthalmicus. Genomic DNA of human herpes virus was quantitated in the tear fluid by two polymerase chain reaction(PCR)assays:qualitative multiplex PCR and quantitative real-time PCR. Results:Real-time PCR showed an average of 2.4×109 copy/ml of VZV-DNA in the tear fluid of 6 affected eyes. The uninfected fellow eyes of 4 patients showed an average of 1.0×106 copy/ml in the tear fluid. The difference was significant(p=0.019). Conclusion:VZV-DNA was detected in the tear fluid in affected and nonaffected eyes of patients with herpes zoster ophthalmicus. The titer was significantly higher in the infected than noninfected fellow eyes.
