Abstract

A significant place among the causes of blindness and low vision among the adult population is occupied by keratitis and keratouveitis. Most often, this disease of the cornea is caused by the herpes simplex virus (in 20–57 % of cases among the adult population and in 70–80 % of cases among children). The results of the treatment in the main group of patients with GC were considered satisfactory in 6 patients (6 eyes), in 10 patients (10 eyes) with keratitis, good treatment results were achieved. In comparison with the control group, the use of Polyoxidonium in complex treatment made it possible to improve the results of treatment by 14.3 % (p > 0.05). Keywords: herpetic keratitis, keratouveitis, azoximer bromide, Polyoxidonium, herpes simplex virus, antiviral therapy, blindness, low vision
