title: [Activity of the antioxidant enzymes of erythrocytes in herpetic keratitis].
abstract: Free-radical oxidations get activated, the activity of catalase slows down and the activity of superoxiddismutase increases in peripheral blood erythrocytes of patients with herpetic keratitis, which is indicative of a changing antioxidant protection in late stages of herpetic infection. The results reveal new chains in the evolution of ophthalmic herpes and confirm the feasibility of adding antioxidants to the complex therapy of patients with herpetic keratitis.
