title: [Latanoprost-associated recurrent herpes simplex keratitis].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  We present a case of a patient who developed recurrent epithelial herpes simplex keratitis after starting treatment with latanoprost. Her ophthalmic history was only remarkable for a past episode of herpetic keratitis 21 years previously.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Episodes of herpetic keratitis were under remission only when latanoprost was discontinued. No recurrences of herpes simplex keratitis have been observed since then. Latanoprost usage might be associated with recurrent episodes of herpes simplex keratitis in patients with previous history of ocular herpes simplex virus infection.
