Recurrent corneal erosion is rare. It can manifest itself in diffuse or localized form. The patient's complaints are quite typical: in the morning he opened his eyes and felt a sharp cutting pain, he is bothered by the sensation of a speck in the eye, a tear flows.
A corneal ulcer occurs when pathogenic microflora (diplococcus, staphylococcus, streptococcus) enters the corneal erosion or ulcerated infiltrate after any superficial keratitis.
Treatment of herpetic keratitis is complex and long-term. It is aimed at suppressing the activity of the virus, improving trophic processes in the cornea, accelerating the epithelialization of defects, and increasing local and general immunity.
Parenchymatous keratitis in congenital syphilis is considered a late manifestation of the general disease. Keratitis usually develops between the ages of 6 and 20, but cases of typical parenchymatous keratitis are known to occur in early childhood and adulthood.
