HERPES ZOSTER OPHTHALMICUS TWO RARE MANIFESTATIONS

Abstract

ATTENTION has been drawn recently to the occurrence of various ophthalmic conditions, caused by herpes zoster, that developed after the actual "shingles" had subsided. The two cases given below may perhaps deserve to be added to the records already published, owing to their rarity and to the fact that the aetiological factor appears to be established beyond doubt. Both cases were observed at the Eye Department of the Caernarvonshire and Anglesey Infirmary, Bangor.
