Five out of 430 patients (1.16%) undergoing kidney transplantation developed an atypical clinical picture of herpetic dendritic keratitis within four weeks after surgery. It was manifested by multiple dendrites, located mainly in the corneal periphery or the limbus, developing in relatively uninflamed eyes. The response to acyclovir therapy was prolonged and took at least three weeks. Additionally, subepithelial infiltrates with ultimate scarring developed in all patients. Disciform keratopathy was not found. This clinical course is ascribed to the patients' immunosuppressed state.
430例接受肾移植的患者中有5例(1.16%)在术后4周内出现了疱疹性树枝状角膜炎的非典型临床表现。其表现为多个树枝状病灶,主要位于角膜周边或角膜缘,在炎症相对不明显的眼中发展。对阿昔洛韦治疗的反应延长,至少需要三周时间。此外,所有患者均出现了上皮下浸润并最终形成瘢痕。未发现盘状角膜病变。这种临床过程归因于患者的免疫抑制状态。
