title: [Treatment of herpetic endogenous uveitis with acyclovir by the systemic route].
abstract: Seventeen patients with presumed chronic herpetic uveitis of all anatomic types underwent systemic treatment with oral and/or intravenous, acyclovir. The diagnosis of herpes had been established on data from serological tests of the aqueous humor. Results were judged according to corticodependance and visual acuity. Results were all the more positive as treatment was more prolonged and also correlated with the dose of acyclovir injected intravenously or taken orally every day. Follow-up ranged from 6 months to several years.
