  • Abstract
  • Look Inside

We reviewed the clinical course of herpetic keratitis in 16 children under the age of 12 years seen during the foregoing 18.5 years. All the cases were unilaterally affected. The primary lesions manifested as epithelial keratitis in 7 eyes (44%), stromal keratitis in 6 (37%) and conjunctivitis in 3 (19%). Out of the total of 20 recurrences, epithelial lesions recurred 7 times (35%) and stromal lesion 13 times (65%) . As the final outcome, corrected visual acuity of 20/40 or over was obtained in 75% of eyes and visual acuity of less than 20/200 in 13% of eyes due to corneal scarring. A proper use of antiviral agents, including acyclovir, was important for good visual outcome in the management of herpetic ocular lesions in children.
