Reviews
From the reviews:
“This highly specialized book depicts the progression of herpes zoster epithelial keratitis from onset to resolution and during recurrences using in vivo photomicrography. It includes several descriptive cases and a comparison of epithelial disease from herpes zoster with that of herpes simplex. … It targets practitioners with an interest in the varicella zoster virus and its effects on the corneal epithelium. This may include corneal specialists and clinical scientists.” (Andrea D. Birnbaum, Doody’s Review Service, February, 2012)Authors and Affiliations
