Abstract

The results of treating eleven cases of dendritic corneal ulcer with 5-iodo2'-deoxyuridine (I.D.U.) are compared with those in eleven controls. In each case virus cultures were positive for herpes simplex; cultures were repeated in individuals being treated with I.D.U. No striking therapeutic advantage was observed in those treated with I.D.U. in comparison to the controls, except perhaps in cases of recurrent ulceration.
