We report a case of non-immune hydrops fetalis (NIHF) caused by herpes simplex virus type 2 (HSV-2) in an infant whose mother had recurrent HSV-2 infection. In spite of prematurity, severe disseminated infection and hydrops, the infant survived and was neurologically intact. HSV-2-induced NIHF is

Non-immune hydrops fetalis is a rare pregnancy complication, which can be caused by a myriad of conditions. Etiologies include metabolic or chromosomal disorders, fetal structural anomalies, and fetal infections. We present a case of non-immune hydrops caused by an intra-uterine infection with Type

Herpetic stromal disease often is treated with combinations of antiviral agents and corticosteroids. The addition of steroids to the antiviral treatment regimen frequently increases the efficacy of therapy in patients; however, many complications may arise as a result of corticosteroid therapy.

Acute hemorrhagic edema of infancy is a benign leukocytoclastic vasculitis occurring in children younger than 2 years. The etiology is unknown. Viral or bacterial infections, immunizations, and the use of several medications, mainly antibiotics, may be involved in the pathogenesis. We report the

One complication of combined antiviral/corticosteroid therapy for herpetic stromal disease in patients is rebound of disease upon termination of therapy. To develop a model of steroid rebound, rabbits were injected intrastromally with 10(3) pfu of HSV-1 (RE strain). Therapy with 1%

Since treatment of herpes simplex virus encephalitis (HSVE) is most effective when started early, a sensitive and specific method for early diagnosis would be of great benefit. MRI and CT are commonly used for this purpose. In this study, we presented two patients who had serologically confirmed

We report a case of 70-year-old man with glioblastoma presenting as acute encephalitic illness. The patient exhibited sudden onset of cognitive impairment and headache for 2 days. Initial brain MRI showed left temporal lobe hyperintensity, and cerebrospinal fluid cytology revealed a mild

The purpose of the study was to report a case of focal trichiasis causing full-thickness corneal edema, scarring, and endothelial cell loss requiring penetrating keratoplasty (PK). A 66-year-old male was referred for trichiasis of the right upper eyelid corresponding to an area of full-thickness

The development of experimental disciform edema and necrotizing keratitis in the corneas or rabbits following intrastromal inoculation with the RE strain of herpes simplex virus is described. Following an initial episode of conjunctivitis and epithelial keratitis, a mild, centrally localized,

OBJECTIVE To present an atypical case of herpes simplex virus (HSV) endotheliitis. METHODS The authors report the case of a 62-year-old female patient who presented with unilateral diffuse corneal edema with Descemet's membrane folds and bullae, without keratic precipitates, iritis, significant

We report a case of recurrence of herpes simplex virus (HSV) keratouveitis following the intravitreal injection of bevacizumab for macular edema secondary to central retinal vein occlusion (CRVO) in a previously adequately treated patient of herpetic keratouveitis. A 47-year-old man with the

OBJECTIVE To report a case of herpes simplex virus (HSV) endotheliitis following simultaneous phacoemulsification, intraocular lens (IOL) implantation and descemet's membrane endothelial keratoplasty (DMEK). METHODS A;45 year-old female with corneal endothelial decompensation and a mature cataract,
