Acyclovir Susceptibility and Genetic Characteristics of Sequential Herpes Simplex Virus Type 1 Corneal Isolates from Patients with Recurrent Herpetic Keratitis
1 Oct 2009
Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: The incidence and clinical significance of herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) acyclovir resistance were determined in patients with recurrent herpetic keratitis (RHK). METHODS: Sequential corneal isolates (n = 39) from 15 immunocompetent patients with RHK were assayed for acyclovir susceptibility and genotyped by analyzing the hypervariable regions of the HSV-1 genes US1 and US12. The thymidine kinase...
