title: [Recurrent ocular herpes simplex infection and HLA antigens; preliminary results (author's transl)].
abstract: HLA-antigens of 80 patients with recurrent ocular herpes simplex infection were compared to a control population. HLA-B5 antigen was significantly more common in the first group. Several hypothesis are discussed in order to explain a relationship between recurrent ocular herpes simplex infection and HLA-antigens.
