| Research Abstract |
We detected herpes simplex virus types 1 (HSV-1) and 2 (HSV-2), varicella zoster virus (VZV), and cytomegalovirus (CMV) DNAs in recipient corneal buttons taken at the time of penetrating keratoplasty. HSV-1, HSV-2, VZV, and CMV DNAs were detected in 10, 1, 9, and 2 of the 27 recipient corneal buttons, respectively.
The rates of HSV DNA positivity were 1/12 (8.3%), 3/11 (27.3%), and 4/15 (26.7%) in normal eye, dry eye, and conjunctivitis, respectively.
Seven medications were investigated for their efficacy in suppressing HSV-1 reactivation in mouse model. Bromfenac Na eye drop, intramuscular AMP, and intraperitoneal geldanamycin suppressed the HSV-1 reactivation.
