[Clinical analysis of recurrences of herpes simplex keratitis].
The rates of recurrence in 180 cases of herpes simplex keratitis in 1, 2 and 3 years after the primary attack were found to be 20%, 31.5% and 34.5% respectively, irrespective of sex and types of the lesions. The recurrence rate was significantly higher in cases complicated with corneal neovascularization or iritis and slightly higher in children and older patients. The factors involved and possible measures for reducing the recurrence rate were discussed.
