Treatment of amoeboid herpetic ulcers with adenine arabinoside or trifluorothymidine

D J Coster et al. Br J Ophthalmol. 1979 Jun.

Abstract

In previous studies adenine arabinoside and trifluorothymidine were found to be equally effective treatments for dendritic ulcers of the cornea, but a trend emerged which suggested that in amoeboid ulcers trifluorothymidine was more effective. The collection of additional cases confirms the superiority of trifluorothymidine in such cases.
