title: [Use of testosterone preparations in complex therapy of severe herpetic keratitis in male patients].
abstract: Data are reported on the efficiency of using the testosterone preparations in male patients with severe herpetic keratitis concomitant with a reduced concentration of the hormone in blood serum; simultaneously, zovirax (an antiviral drug) and immunocorrector tymalin were administered. The above drugs normalized the testosterone content in blood serum in 46.9% of patients; they stabilize the count of CD95+ lymphocytes in peripheral blood, which is manifested clinically by an improved visual acuity and a shorter treatment of the above patients in hospital.
