Abstract

Herpes viruses are widely disseminated in nature and can be found nearly in all animal spices. They can affect all the structures in the eye causing anterior and posterior uveitis. Clinical features play an important role in the diagnosis but the definite diagnosis is made by the demonstration of intraocular antibody production and the presence of viral DNA in ocular fluids. The advances in molecular diagnostic tests and the rising use of these tests in clinical practice increase the role of these viruses in uveitis etiology. In this article, we aimed to review the clinical features, diagnosis, and treatment protocols of herpetic uveitis.
