Isolation of herpes simplex virus from corneal discs of patients with chronic stromal keratitis. 1985

A B Tullo, and D L Easty, and C Shimeld, and P E Stirling, and J M Darville

Herpes simplex virus (HSV) was isolated from the corneal discs of six patients with herpes simplex keratitis, which were removed during penetrating keratoplasty and then cultured in vitro. The demonstration of persistent infection in stromal keratitis, even when the condition is quiescent, emphasizes the need for antiviral agents in treatment. The findings support the possibility that latent infection may become established at a peripheral site.

D002467 Cell Nucleus Within a eukaryotic cell, a membrane-limited body which contains chromosomes and one or more nucleoli (CELL NUCLEOLUS). The nuclear membrane consists of a double unit-type membrane which is perforated by a number of pores; the outermost membrane is continuous with the ENDOPLASMIC RETICULUM. A cell may contain more than one nucleus. (From Singleton & Sainsbury, Dictionary of Microbiology and Molecular Biology, 2d ed) Cell Nuclei,Nuclei, Cell,Nucleus, Cell
D003315 Cornea The transparent anterior portion of the fibrous coat of the eye consisting of five layers: stratified squamous CORNEAL EPITHELIUM; BOWMAN MEMBRANE; CORNEAL STROMA; DESCEMET MEMBRANE; and mesenchymal CORNEAL ENDOTHELIUM. It serves as the first refracting medium of the eye. It is structurally continuous with the SCLERA, avascular, receiving its nourishment by permeation through spaces between the lamellae, and is innervated by the ophthalmic division of the TRIGEMINAL NERVE via the ciliary nerves and those of the surrounding conjunctiva which together form plexuses.
