Herpes Zoster: A Brief Definitive Review
Cohen, Elisabeth J.; Jeng, Bennie H.
doi : 10.1097/ICO.0000000000002754
Cornea: August 2021 - Volume 40 - Issue 8 - p 943-949
This brief definitive review of herpes zoster (HZ) will cover the current state of knowledge and questions that remain to be answered regarding HZ in general and HZ ophthalmicus in particular. A question-and-answer format will be used to address various important topics related to this common and serious disease. Questions to be addressed relate to common misconceptions, contagiousness of infection, unknowns regarding pathogenesis, rising incidence, risk factors and complications, relationship with temporal arteritis, vaccination, and current and future antiviral treatment. In addition, the importance of the Zoster Eye Disease Study to determine the efficacy of suppressive valacyclovir treatment in preventing complications of HZ ophthalmicus and the need to support enrollment will be discussed.

While we cannot prove that these infiltrates are caused by or directly related to COVID-19, we did not find any other plausible cause that could explain these ophthalmic signs. In these cases, the ongoing process was detected in relatively early stages due to scheduled visits with patients and responded positively to prednisolone acetate 1% ophthalmic suspension. However, we do not know the response to treatment in more advanced cases.
