title: [Treatment of herpes simplex of the lid margin with vidarabin ointment (author's transl)].
abstract: Twenty cases of herpes simplex of the lid margin were treated with vidarabin ointment applied topically 4 to 5 times daily together with an antibiotic ointment 2 to 4 times per day. Healing of the skin eruptions was observed within 3 to 12 days (average 6 days). Vidarabin eye ointment was well tolerated in all cases. A comparison with other locally-applied virustatic preparations is drawn.
