  • Abstract
  • Look Inside

A 42-year-old female presented with mild iridocyclitis with elevated intraocular pressure in her right eye of 2 weeks' duration. Iris depigmenta-tion developed during the ensuing 10 weeks. We performed trabeculectomy to relieve persistent ocular hypertension in spite of intense treatments with topical corticosteroid and systemic acet-azolamide.

Electron microscopy of the resected iris showed numerous herpes virus particles in the capillaryendothelium, melanocytes and the pigment epithe-lium. No virus particles were detected in the ante-rior chamber angle. Indirect immunofluorescent antibody method using anti-herpes simplex anti-sera showed positive reaction tissues similar to the electron microscopic findings.

The present case illustrates that infection by herpes simplex virus may cause iridocyclitis as-sociated with ocular hypertension and depigmenta-tion of the iris.
