ABSTRACT

Objetivo/Método: Se presenta el caso clínico de una paciente que desarrolló episodios recurrentes de queratitis epitelial herpética tras comenzar tratamiento con latanoprost. Entre sus antecedentes oftalmológicos sólo destacaba un episodio de queratitis herpética hacía 21 años. Resultados/Conclusiones: Los episodios de queratitis herpética sólo pudieron ser controlados al retirar el latanoprost. La paciente no ha vuelto a presentar nuevos brotes de queratitis herpética desde entonces. El uso de latanoprost podría estar asociado a la aparición de queratitis herpéticas recurrentes en pacientes con historia previa de herpes ocular (AU)

ABSTRACT

PURPOSE/METHOD: 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. RESULTS/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.
