TREATMENT OF HERPECTIC ENDOGENOUS UVEITIS BY ACYCLOVIR ADMINISTERED BY SYSTEMIC ROUTE

Seventeen patients with presumed chronic herpetic uveitis of all anato mic types underwent systemic treatment with oral and/or intravenous, a cyclovir. The diagnosis of herpes had been established on data from se rological tests of the aqueous humor. Results were judged according to corticodependance and visual acuity. Results were all the more positi ve as treatment was more prolonged and also correlated with the dose o f acyclovir injected intravenously or taken orally every day. Follow-u p ranged from 6 months to several years.
