Abstract

All patients were examined for the presence of causative agent by PCR in various biological fluids and the level of immunoglobulin in the blood serum. It is found that the leading form of herpetic eye disease in children are anterior and posterior uveitis, their clinical course is characterized by obliteration of clinical symptoms at the early stages of the disease, which leads to a generalization of the process and the development of severe complications.
