2020年1月1日 · The Zoster Eye Disease Study (ZEDS) is assessing whether one year of oral valacyclovir 1,000 mg daily reduces ocular complications from HZO (i.e., keratitis and iritis). In a survey of ZEDS investigators, over half of respondents have reported using prolonged oral antivirals for treatment of HZO. 10 _____

Patients with ZSH had more white KPs and received less early antiviral medication than those with HZO. However, visual outcomes were similar between the two groups. Small-to-medium white KPs were significantly associated with the viral load of VZV in AH, suggesting that they could be an active marke …

Herpes zoster (HZ) uveitis is caused by the reactivation of the varicella zoster virus (VZV), a double-stranded DNA virus of the Herpesviridae family. Following primary infection, VZV remains dormant within the dorsal root ganglia and may reactivate along the first division of the trigeminal nerve, resulting in ophthalmic manifestations.

We describe a female patient who developed scleritis, complicated cataract and secondary glaucoma 2 years after being diagnosed by HZO. Secondary glaucoma was managed medically, and the patient underwent extracapsular cataract extraction for the complicated cataract. Final visual acuity was 6/6 and IOP was 22.4 mm Hg.

2016年6月1日 · Herpes zoster ophthalmicus (HZO) may not be the monophasic illness that ophthalmologists learned about in medical school. A hospital-based epidemiology study supports more recent data showing that recurrent and chronic HZO are much more common than previously thought. 1

Herpes zoster is characterized by reactivation of the varicella–zoster virus lying dormant in the spinal or cerebral sensory ganglia and is commonly seen in patients with depressed cellular immunity, such as the elderly, patients on immunosuppressive therapy, and patients with lymphoma or positive HIV status. 1, 2 The incidence and severity of h...

2012年12月18日 · Herpes Zoster Ophthalmicus (HZO), also known as shingles or zoster, is a viral disease caused by the varicella zoster virus (VZV) that causes a painful skin rash in one or more dermatomes of the fifth cranial nerve, which innervates the eye and orbit.

The key idea is to incorporate a thin Al 2 O 3 intermediate layer within a Hf 0.5 Zr 0.5 O 2 (HZO) ferroelectric layer to form a tri-layer structure (HZO/Al 2 O 3 /HZO) with precisely controlled thicknesses by using atomic layer deposition (ALD). Additionally, we investigate how the processing conditions of sputtered TiN layers affect the ...

2025年3月6日 · Men showed an HZO incidence rate ratio (IRR) of 0.74 compared with women. Compared with white patients, the IRRs were 0.70, 0.75, and 0.64 for Asians, black patients, and Hispanics, respectively.

2024年12月5日 · Patients with ZSH had more white KPs and received less early antiviral medication than those with HZO. However, visual outcomes were similar between the two groups. Small-to-medium white KPs were significantly associated with the viral load of VZV in AH, suggesting that they could be an active marker.
