Efficacy of Postoperative Immunosuppression After Keratoplasty in Herpetic Keratitis

Abstract: Graft survival rate and functional outcome after postoperative antiviral and immunosuppressive treatment in cases of penetrating keratoplasties after herpetic keratitis are comparable with results of normal-risk keratoplasties, despite existing high risks for immune rejections or herpetic recurrences.

“…Comparison between the groups could not be made due to the small sample size in the CsA group. [116] It is known that MMF has a synergistic effect with acyclovir, thus this combination might be beneficial for patients undergoing keratoplasty after herpetic corneal disease. [114117]…”

“…Several clinicians agree that MMF seems to have the same capacity as CsA in reducing the severity of shifting the immune reactions from severe to mild. [83116] In addition, MMF's broad therapeutic range, a smaller percentage of severe side effects, and lower cost due to less blood monitoring, makes the drug more convenient for ophthalmic patients. [83115]…”

“…Hatványozottan érvényes ez azokban a PK-ese tekben is, amelyeket HSV-1 által okozott corneafolyamatokban végzünk. Hatásosságát több szerző bizonyította [8,9,10,11,12]. A recidíva megelőzése azért…”

“…Ugyanez a munkacsoport korábban CsA-t alkalmazott [3], de megállapították, hogy az MMF jobb hatású [13], aminek az az oka, hogy a két gyógyszer között szinergista hatás áll fenn. A peroralis antivirális és immunszuppresszív kezelés hatásosságát mások is bizonyították [11]. Saját eseteink a kombinált terápia hatásosságát bizonyítják: az ACés MMF-terápiát kapottak közül csak egy esetben lépett fel rejectio 28 hónap elteltével a műtét után, tehát több mint egy évvel a kezelés abbahagyása után.…”
