[Minima corticoid eyedrops in inflammatory outbreak of herpetic keratitis].

Abstract

Seven patients having repeated inflammatory relapses of herpes simplex keratitis have been treated by small dosages of steroid eyedrops (from 0.25% prednisolone once a week to 1% prednisolone once a day). In these patients these doses were almost always sufficient. There was no complications (especially there happened 7 intercurrent dendritic ulcers which were unaffected by the steroids).
