Herpes simplex virus (HSV) associated uveitis is a common cause of unilateral hypertensive anterior uveitis. Herpetic anterior uveitis causes approximately 5-10% of uveitis cases. [2] Herpes simplex iritis is due to the Herpes simplex virus, a double-stranded DNA virus. The most common subtype associated with ocular infection is HSV-1.

Herpes Simplex Virus (HSV) Stromal Keratitis and Endotheliitis. HSV infection can cause inflammation in nearly every ocular tissue. In cases of corneal involvement, the epithelium, stroma, or endothelium may be affected.

Herpes simplex virus (HSV) keratitis is an infectious disease of the cornea. Diagnosis and management of the patient with HSV infection of the cornea. Minimize visual loss, relieve pain and discomfort, and minimize structural damage to the cornea associated with HSV keratitis by improving the diagnosis and management of this disease entity.

To report a case of herpes simplex virus (HSV) endotheliitis following simultaneous phacoemulsification, intraocular lens (IOL) implantation and descemet's membrane endothelial keratoplasty (DMEK).

Jan 18, 2022 · To report a case of herpes simplex virus (HSV) linear endotheliitis in a 57-year-old male who had underwent keratoplasty 10 years ago. The characteristic linear keratic precipitates (KPs) resembled the Khodadoust line in graft rejection.

Viral anterior uveitis (VAU) is characterized by anterior uveitis (AU) with elevated intraocular pressure (IOP) diffuse stellate keratic precipitates (KPs), presence of pigmentation in active KPs and iris atrophic changes. [1, 2, 3, 4] The most commonly implicated viruses include herpes simplex (HSV), varicella-zoster (VZV), cytomegalovirus (CMV...

Herpes zoster ophthalmicus caused by varicella zoster virus (VZV), which may be the initial manifestation of an immunocompromised state, presents with dermatomal vesicular eruption along the first division of the fifth cranial nerve, preceding the anterior uveitis. VZV, however, can also cause anterior uveitis in the absence of a rash. 2.

Sep 25, 2023 · Herpes simplex virus (HSV)-associated anterior uveitis accounts for 5–10% of patients with anterior uveitis and 3–10% of all uveitis patients, and is the most frequent etiology of infectious anterior uveitis. It is chiefly an acute unilateral iritis involving middle-aged individuals with preponderance in females.

HSV linear endotheliitis is the most severe form of HSV endotheliitis. This case showed characteristic endothelial KPs, which were different from the Khodadoust line of graft rejection.

May 27, 2019 · Mutton-fat keratic precipitates (KPs) were found mostly in patients with HSV-AU and ZSH-AU. Severities of AU and viral load were the highest in ZSH-AU, followed by HSV-AU and CMV-AU. Iris atrophy was observed in HSV-AU (50%) and ZSH-AU (76%), with typical morphology of round type and sector type, respectively.
