Herpes simplex epithelial keratitis developed in four renal transplant recipients while they were receiving high-dose systemic corticosteroid and immunosuppressive therapy. In all cases the presentation was atypical, and in two cases the course was protracted, leading to some visual loss from corneal scarring and opacification. With the immunocompromised patient it is important to seek early ophthalmologic consultation when even minor ocular symptoms develop.
4名肾移植受者在接受大剂量全身性皮质类固醇和免疫抑制治疗时发生了单纯疱疹性上皮性角膜炎。所有病例的表现均不典型,2例病程迁延,导致角膜瘢痕形成和混浊,造成了一定程度的视力丧失。对于免疫功能低下的患者,即使出现轻微眼部症状,尽早寻求眼科会诊也很重要。
