title: [Pathological analysis of 100 cases of severe deep stromal herpetic keratitis].
abstract: Based on the pathological observation of 100 cases of severe deep stromal herpetic keratitis, the author suggested the classification of the disease, according to the nature and progression of the chronic inflammation, into 2 categories of the acute active stage (40%) and chronic progressive stage (60%), which were in agreement with the clinical manifestations and also satisfactorily explained the pathogenetic basis of the clinical types. Inflammatory granuloma appeared in 21% of the cases, indicating that the corneal lesions were still in progress.
