ObjectiveTo describe the changes in corneal thickness determined by ultrasonic pachymetry during follow-up of herpes simplex virus disciform corneal edema.MethodsThirty-five patients with herpetic keratitis underwent slit-lamp biomicroscopy and ultrasonic pachymetry. Measurements during follow-up and at clinical resolution of corneal inflammation were compared with the initial corneal thickness.ResultsCorneal thickness of disciform stromal keratitis decreased 15%(95% confidence interval 10% to 20%) during follow-up, and 65%(95% confidence interval 43% to 88%) of this decrease occurred during the first 2 weeks. Increased central corneal thickness measured by pachymetry was associated with biomicroscopic detection of corneal edema (P= 0.03).Conclusions
