[Recurrent and persistent nummuli after epidemic keratoconjunctivitis].
Three observations of typical patients with persistent and recurrent nummuli after epidemic keratoconjunctivitis serve--pars pro toto--to demonstrate that longterm therapy with high-dosed topical steroid offers no therapeutic solution. This experience and other disadvantages of steroids in KCE (dry eyes) lead us to recommend not to apply topical steroids in KCE unless an adenovirus specific antiviral agent has become available for basic antiviral therapy.
