A retrospective case series was performed in a university setting for all patients with herpes simplex epithelial keratitis who underwent liquid nitrogen cryotherapy from 2012-2015. Outcome measure was clinical evidence of resolution of epithelial keratitis in the cornea with re-epithelialization. All cases of epithelial keratitis showed partial and complete resolution at day 1 and week 1 respectively. Liquid nitrogen cryotherapy is a safe and effective treatment for herpes epithelial keratitis comparable to other published studies.
对2012年至2015年期间在大学环境中接受液氮冷冻疗法的所有单纯疱疹性上皮性角膜炎患者进行了一项回顾性病例系列研究。结局指标是角膜上皮性角膜炎消退并重新上皮化的临床证据。所有上皮性角膜炎病例分别在第1天和第1周显示部分和完全消退。与其他已发表的研究相比,液氮冷冻疗法是一种治疗疱疹性上皮性角膜炎的安全有效的方法。
