Recurrence and rejection rates following corneal transplantation for herpes simplex keratitis

Abstract: Seventy-two penetrating primary keratoplasties for herpes simplex keratitis performed from 1970 to 1993 were reviewed. Postoperative follow-up periods ranged from 6 months to 16 years with 2 years median. Epithelial herpetic recurrence occurred in 25% of the transplants the first year and in 44% during the first 2 years. Primary allograft rejection was observed in 29% of the grafts the first year and in 46% during the first 2 years. Preoperative inflammation was a risk factor for preservation of a clear cornea… Show more

“…It would be expected that grafts performed for therapeutic reasons would have a higher risk of graft failure as actively inflamed eyes have been shown to be a risk factor for graft failure in herpetic keratitis. 10,16,17 This lends support to the principle of temporising measures such as gluing or lamellar patch grafting in eyes with, or threatened with perforation. This may allow for PK to be performed at a later date when the eye is quiet.…”

“…Активное воспаление, обусловлен-ное кератитом (бактериальным, вирусным, грибко-вым), является фактором риска, снижающим веро-ятность прозрачного приживления трансплантата. через 1 год после кератопластики у пациентов, имеющих в анамнезе герпетический кератит, частота возникновения реакции тканевой несовместимости достигает 29%, а ко 2-му году -46% [22]. В 2 / 3 случаев клинического покоя герпетического поражения ро-говицы были выявлены убедительные доказательства гистопатологического воспаления [23,24].…”

“…Arra következtettek, hogy a transzplantáció előtti konzervatív kezelés gyulladásmentes körülményeket teremt, és ilyenkor jobb prognózissal számolhatunk PK után. Hasonlóan rossz eredményről számoltak be Lomholt és mtsai [6], akik a HSV recidíváját 44%-nak, a rejectiót 46%-nak találták az első két évben. A sürgősségi PK eseteiben szignifi kánsan rosszabb eredményt kaptak.…”
