Thymic factor therapy for herpetic keratitis.

Thirty patients with herpetic keratitis were allocated to a double-blind trial with either local treatment plus placebo (control group) or local treatment plus thymostimulin (TS group). The follow-up at 24 months demonstrated a significant reduction of recurrence rate among patients receiving thymostimulin, along with a significant increase of sheep rosette-forming cells (E rosette). Furthermore, among patients with superficial keratitis, thymostimulin treatment resulted in a significantly quicker corneal re-epithelization than placebo. Thymostimulin seems to be a safe and helpful drug in the management of herpetic keratitis.

Prognosis in Behcet's disease.

A retrospective clinical study made to determine the course and prognosis of the disease in 51 cases of Behçet's disease, with a follow-up of at least one year (average five years, range 1 to 15 years), showed that 45% of the eyes kept visual acuities of 1/10 or less, and 44% 8/10 or better, four years after the onset of the ocular symptoms. Ten years later, some 50% of the eyes had visual acuities of 1/10 or less and 32% had acuities of 8/10 or better. In the group of patients who were treated early with chlorambucil, the eye prognosis was significantly improved.
