Efficacy of ophthalmic solutions to detach adhering Pseudomonas aeruginosa from contact lenses.

Abstract

Although syphilis has been recognized for many years as the cause of 90% of cases of ISK, this is no longer true. We demonstrated that active ISK is most commonly caused by HSV or is idiopathic and that, although syphilis is the leading cause of inactive, bilateral ISK, it is responsible for only 18.6% of total cases.
