To evaluate the complications of herpes zoster ophthalmicus (HZO) in children.
Prospective-observational case series.
Ten healthy patients (five boys, five girls) with HZO were prospectively followed. Data regarding best-corrected visual acuity, biomicroscopy, intraocular pressure, corneal sensitivity, and funduscopy were collected. The median duration of follow-up was 19 months (range eight to 78 months).
The mean age at presentation was 8.7 years (range two to 14 years +/-3.95). At last visit, two patients (20%) had decreased visual acuity and nine (90%) had some degree of abnormal corneal sensitivity and corneal opacity despite good final visual acuity.
In general, HZO seems to have a good prognosis in healthy children; nonetheless, some cases can present severe eye complications causing visual loss.
评估儿童眼部带状疱疹(HZO)的并发症。
前瞻性观察病例系列。
对10例患有HZO的健康患者(5名男孩,5名女孩)进行前瞻性随访。收集有关最佳矫正视力、生物显微镜检查、眼压、角膜敏感性和眼底检查的数据。随访的中位持续时间为19个月(范围8至78个月)。
就诊时的平均年龄为8.7岁(范围2至14岁±3.95)。在最后一次就诊时,2例患者(20%)视力下降,9例患者(90%)尽管最终视力良好,但仍有一定程度的角膜敏感性异常和角膜混浊。
总体而言,HZO在健康儿童中似乎预后良好;尽管如此,一些病例可能会出现导致视力丧失的严重眼部并发症。
