Abstract
The purpose of this study is to report a rare condition of post-varicella disciform keratitis in a 4-year-old child. It is a prospective study of the follow-up of a 4 year-old girl who was diagnosed as post-varicella stromal disciform keratitis related to high serum antibody titers five months after the skin lesions. Rapid response to topical steroids, topical and oral antivirals have been observed in 6 weeks of treatment. There was no recurrence in the 6 months of follow-up. Total resolution of the disciform stromal keratitis in a short period of time was disclosed with an effective treatment of both topical and oral antivirals and topical steroids.
