Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to analyze the clinical and virological characteristics of patients with herpes simplex keratitis (HSK) caused by acyclovir-resistant herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1).
- Researchers confirmed resistance through gene sequencing and gathered data on HSK episodes, ocular findings, immune status, antiviral treatments, and resistance profiles from 18 patients (average age 67).
- Results indicated that resistance mutations were common, especially in patients with long-standing disease and frequent recurrences, highlighting the need for vigilance in treatment plans, particularly for immunocompromised individuals.
