Abstract
A 7-year-old boy and a 3-year-old girl suffered from unilateral disciform keratitis and iritis associated with varicella. While they were treated with topical corticosteroid, idoxuridine, and atropine drops, dendritic lesions typical of herpes zoster appeared four months after the onset of eruptive skin lesions. Using the direct immunofluorescent method, we showed varicella-zoster virus antigen in the epithelial cells scraped from the dendritic lesion.
