Abstract

Introduction: The goal of this study is to determine the prevalence of OCULAR HERPES SIMPLEX MANIFESTATIONS between September 2004-March 2005. The importance of this study is in reducing symptoms and complications of herpes simplex keratitis (Such as iritis, blindness, and decreased visual acuity due to corneal scarring, perforated corneal ulcer, secondary infection with bacteria or fungi, secondary glaucoma) and reducing the risk of recurrence and improving corneal graft survival after penetrating keratoplasty.Materials & Methods: Sampling procedure was sequential. Forty nine patients were selected from the ophthalmic clinics who had ocular herpes simplex manifestation and were examined by completing questionnaires.Results: The results of this study showed that the prevalence rate of epithelial KERATITITS was 65.3%, stromal keratitis %48, CONJUNCTIVITIS 4.1%, UVEITIS 4.1%. The most trigger factors were as follow: Psychological stress 34.7%; sunlight 8.2%; fever 4.1%, local trauma 4.1%; systemic disease 2.05%. The prevalence rate of primary infection was 22.4% and the recurrent infection was 77.6%. Forty seven percent of these patients had visual acuity less than 4.10.Conclusion: Because the rate of corneal scorring increases with any episodic disease recurrence, the necessity of prevention of disease recurrence increases. It is necessary to educate people to recognize the disease manifestations, provocation factors, and preventing methods.
