PMCID: PMC429446  PMID: 1211919

Abstract

Silver sulfadiazine, at a concentration of 10 μg/ml when applied immediately after infection by Herpesvirus hominis, prevented the development of acute herpetic keratoconjunctivitis in rabbits. The efficacy was inversely related to the size of inoculum. Subclinical infections were observed in the drug-treated eyes.
