摘要：

PURPOSE: To describe the spectrum and recurrence of herpes simplex virus (HSV) keratitis in children and adolescents. DESIGN: Retrospective cohort study. METHODS: Twenty-three patients younger than age 16 years were diagnosed with HSV keratitis at one institution. RESULTS: All children presented with dendritic or punctate epithelial keratitis, and stromal keratitis occurred concurrently with epithelial keratitis in 14 patients (61%). Six patients (26%) had bilateral HSV keratitis. Eleven patients (48%) developed recurrent HSV keratitis at a median of 15 months after the first documented episode. Amblyopia occurred in three children. CONCLUSION: Children with herpetic keratitis may have bilateral ocular involvement and are at risk for recurrent keratitis and amblyopia.
