Dr. Tukezban Huseynova
Introduction
Dr. Tukezban Huseynova
Introduction
➢ HSV keratitis has multiple presentations that can be challenging for the clinician
➢ The main corneal manifestations include infectious epithelial keratitis, neurotrophic keratopathy,
necrotizing stromal keratitis, immune stromal keratitis, and endotheliitis
➢ To treat HSV keratitis successfully, the clinician must recognize the infectious as well as immune
components of the keratitis being treated
➢ The most common treatment error is an underutilization of topical corticosteroids for immune
stromal keratitis
➢ Herpes viruses are double-stranded DNA viruses
➢ There are three subfamilies of herpesviruses: alpha-, beta-, and gamma-herpesviruses
➢ The human viruses included in alpha-subfamily are herpes simplex virus type-1 (HSV-1), HSV-2,
and varicella-zoster virus (VZV)

Laboratory Investigations
Dr. Tukezban Huseynova
Laboratory investigations
➢General clinical examination
In case of typical presentation
➢ Giemsa staining
➢ Polymerase chain reaction (PCR)
➢ Viral culture
➢ Immunological tests
In case of atypical presentation (lab. analysis)
Dr. Tukezban Huseynova
Therapy
Dr. Tukezban Huseynova
➢ Acyclovir can preferentially inhibit HSV DNA by binding to DNA polymerase and acting as a chain
terminator
Acyclovir
Antiviral agents
Therapy
➢ Acyclovir has been the mainstay of systemic treatment for HSV for several decades
➢ Gertrude Elion and George Hitchins received the 1988 Nobel prize for the development of acyclovir,
among other drugs
➢ At a dose of 400 mg five times daily, therapeutic aqueous humor levels can be achieved
➢ Gancyclovir was also noted to be significantly better tolerated by patients and was approved by the
FDA in 2009, as a 0.15% ophthalmic gel
Gancyclovir
Dr. Tukezban Huseynova
Indications for oral antivirals
Antiviral agents
Therapy
➢ Patients with frequently recurrent infectious epithelial keratitis and post penetrating keratoplasty
patients with history of HSV keratitis
➢ Patients who experience two or more episodes of infectious epithelial keratitis per year may be
candidates for prophylactic treatment with oral acyclovir, 400 mg twice a day
➢ Valacyclovir, 500 mg once daily, can also be used as prophylaxis
Dr. Tukezban Huseynova
Therapy
Advantages of ORAL Antivirals over TOPICAL Antivirals
1. Use of topical antiviral agents does not prevent the recurrence of
infectious epithelial keratitis
2. Chronic usage of topical antiviral medications leads to toxic
keratopathy and conjunctival scarring
Dr. Tukezban Huseynova
The Herpetic Eye Disease Study
Therapy
➢ Oral antiviral prophylaxis reduces recurrences of epithelial and of stromal keratitis,
particularly stromal with a history of recurrence
➢ Use of topical corticosteroids is of benefit in stromal keratitis
➢ Use of oral acyclovir may be of help in iridocyclitis
Note: The HEDS has established that long-term
(one year) oral antiviral therapy, with a dose of
acyclovir 400 mg twice a day, can reduce the
recurrence of epithelial keratitis and stromal
keratitis
Dr. Tukezban Huseynova
Suppress the inflammation by interfering with the normal immunologic response to various stimuli
„Cornea. Fundamentals, Diagnosis and management – Fourth Edition“, Mark J. Mannis, Edward J. Holland (2017)
Corticosteroids
Therapy and resistance patterns
➢ Advantages of steroid use in ocular disease include inhibition of
- cellular infiltration
- opacification
- scarring, inhibition
- release of toxic enzymes
- neovascularization
➢ Disadvantages include
- exacerbation and spread of active viral infection
- stimulation of viral replication
- enhancement of collagenolytic enzyme production
- corneal thinning
Dr. Tukezban Huseynova
Strategies for initial management
Dr. Tukezban Huseynova
Strategies for initial management
Physical gentle debridement of the ulcer with a sterile cotton tipped applicator
Infectious epithelial keratitis
Topical antiviral medications (every three hours)
Prophylaxis with a broad spectrum antibiotic
Topical cycloplegics in case of significant photophobia or ciliary spasm
Topical corticosteroids ONLY in case of severe immune stromal inflammation
Oral antiviral therapy should be also added to the topical therapy
Dr. Tukezban Huseynova
Strategies for initial management
Disconiuation of all unnecessary topical medications, especially topical antivirals
Neurotrophic Keratopathy
Frequent use of nonpreserved artificial tears
Prophylaxis with a broad spectrum antibiotic
In severe cases of a boggy rolled epithelium – gentle depridment
In case of secondary inflamation – topical corticosteroids
Therapeutic soft contact lens – in case of nonhealing neurotrophic ulcer (short term)
Surgical (or medical with botulinum toxin) Tarsoraphy or conjuntival flap
Dr. Tukezban Huseynova
Surgical management
Dr. Tukezban Huseynova
Surgical management
➢Temporary or permanent tarsorrhaphy
➢Conjunctival flap
➢Amniotic membrane
➢Penetrated Keratoplasty
➢Lamellar keratoplasty (DALK)
➢Descemet membrane Endothelial Keratoplasty,
