[Detection of type 1 and 2 herpetic antigens by immunofluorescence in patients with chronic or recurrent keratoconjunctivitis receiving therapy based on etiology].

Immunofluorescence (IF) techniques were used to evaluate the therapeutical efficiency of moroxidine hydrochloride against herpes virus (HSV) induced keratoconjunctivitis. In 56 out of the 77 followed-up and treated patients, the IF reactions revealed the presence of both types 1 and 2 of herpes virus, while in 21 only type 1 was found. The treatment with moroxidine hydrochloride led to a reduction of 63% and 92%, respectively, of the incidence of herpes virus type 1 and 2 antigens in the conjunctival cells, coincident with the improvement of clinical symptoms or persistent recovery.
