Ceratite por Herpes simples revisitada

ABSTRACT

The degree to which viral infection and the host’s immune reaction to viral particles participate in the inflammatory process across various forms of herpetic keratitis has remained controversial. This fact has created conflicts regarding the classification of and therapeutic planning for such morbidities. This review aims to stimulate reflection on the classifications’ adequacy, nomenclatures, and therapeutic approaches related to these entities.
