摘要:

AbstractTwenty patients with dendritic keratitis were treated in a double‐blind analysis study with either phosphonoformate 3% or trifluorthymidine 1% drops. Nineteen cases were virologically confirmed. Follow‐up was performed until closure of the corneal lesion was registered and a pair comparison between both substances was made. Healing time was longer for phosphonoformate (7.16 days) than for trifluorthymidine (5.83 days). There was no significant difference between phosphonoformate and trifluorthymidine. One drug failure was registered in each series. No side effects were obser

摘要:

AbstractBirdshot retinochoroidopathy is a rare ocular disorder which was named and delineated as a separate clinical entity by Ryan&Maumenee in 1980. We diagnosed birdshot retinochoroidopathy in a monozygotic pair of twins, who were affected with a time interval of 12 years, respectively. These are the first with birdshot retinochoroidopathy to be reported from the Nordic countries and the first report on this disorder in monozygotic twins. Due to night‐blindness, visual field defects and a severely affected electroretinogram one of our cases initially was diagnosed as a choroidoretinal dystrophy. Birdshot retinochoroidopathy should be kept in mind as a differential diagnosis in retinitis pigmentosa‐like disorders with widespread choroidal involvement. Our cases substantiated the evidence of a strong correlation with the presence of HLA‐A29 an

摘要:

AbstractTwo patients with therapy resistant keratitis are described. There were no predisposing diseases. Both patients had been using rigid contact lenses for more than 10 years and both cleaned their lenses in cold tap water. The patients presented with keratitis of several weeks duration resistant to antibacterial and antiviral treatment and not responding to high doses of corticosteroids. Ultimately, after the possibility of a protozoan aetiology had been considered, culture of corneal scrapings from both patients yielded growth of Acanthamoeba trophozoites. Acanthamoeba keratitis is very rare in northern European countries and has never before been diagnosed in Norway. The present cases show that Acanthamoeba should be added to the list of possible pathogenic agents even in northern low temperature areas.

摘要:

AbstractA 64‐year‐old patient with open‐angle glaucoma was treated with timolol following two unsuccessful filtering procedures. While on timolol therapy, she deveolped three episodes of choroidal detachment, hypotony and shallow anterior chamber. These findings resolved upon cessation of timolol and reappeared on 3 occasions shortly after reinstitution of the beta blocker th
