Infectious scleritis: a comprehensive narrative review of epidemiology, clinical characteristics, and management strategies

“… 15 Valacyclovir 1000 mg three times daily, or famciclovir 500 mg three times daily, are alternative regimens. 60 Of note, oral corticosteroids have been reported to be detrimental for individuals with HSV-related IS. 48 Table 4 presents a summary of appropriate antimicrobial regimens for different causative microorganisms.…”

Diversity of Microbial Species Implicated in Keratitis: A Review

“…Although Herpes Simplex Virus-Type 1 (HSV-1) is the most common cause of viral keratitis, it is not the only implicated viral pathogen. Varicella Zoster Virus, also a member of the Herpes viridae family, has been identified as a causal agent in a select few cases, while the Vaccinia virus has been identified as the result of an adverse reaction to the small pox immunisation (Table 6 ) [64-66]. …”

Acyclovir‐induced psychiatric and renal adverse effects in a diabetic patient: A case report

“…5,6 HZO results from the reactivation of a latent infection in the trigeminal ganglion, affecting the distal nerves of the ophthalmic division. 7,8 Ophthalmic complications associated with HZO include keratitis, scleritis, uveitis, glaucoma, optic neuritis, retinal necrosis, and oculomotor palsies, which can arise due to inflammation, direct viral damage, immune responses, or scarring. 3 While HZO typically presents with a unilateral maculopapular or vesicular rash in a dermatomal distribution, ocular involvement occurs in approximately 50% of HZO cases.…”
