[Results of laser confocal microscopy of the cornea in viral uveitis (a preliminary report)].

Unlabelled: Herpesviruses involve neurotropic activity (they affect nerve cells) and have the ability to induce an immune response (a special tropism for immune tissue), which provides a valid reason for studying the possibilities of visualizing nerve fibers of the cornea and Langerhans cells (LC) in viral uveitis (with prospective applications in early diagnosis).

Purpose: To evaluate the results of laser corneal confocal microscopy (CCM) in viral uveitis of varying localization.

Material And Methods: The main study group included 23 patients (23 eyes) diagnosed with unilateral herpesviral uveitis (chorioretinitis), the patients' age varied from 18 to 79 years.
