Abstract
Topical acyclovir has been found in 15 out of 18 patients to control, without recurrences and in an appreciably shorter time than if steroids were used, keratoconjunctivitis induced by herpes zoster. Once steroids were started, recurrences occurred during withdrawal of steroids or after they had been stopped.This publication has 20 references indexed in Scilit:
