[Viral uveitis].

Abstract

The role of neurotropic virus in the etiopathogeny of uveitis is being emphasized by recent findings. Serology of aqueous humor is the first step towards the diagnosis since it indicates in many cases a local production of specific antibodies. Different entities seem to correspond to different viral specificities. The relationship between measles virus and multiple sclerosis may be one of the most fascinating aspects of this problem.

Diagnosis and management of herpetic anterior uveitis.

Herpetic anterior uveitis is a relatively common condition. History of herpetic disease and the presence of characteristic findings on ocular examination suggest the diagnosis and help to differentiate between HSV and VZV as the cause of this condition. New diagnostic techniques have allowed a more specific diagnosis. Topical corticosteroids and oral antivirals have become the main standards for management.
