Herpesviruses involve neurotropic activity (they affect nerve cells) and have the ability to induce an immune response (a special tropism for immune tissue), which provides a valid reason for studying the possibilities of visualizing nerve fibers of the cornea and Langerhans cells (LC) in viral uveitis (with prospective applications in early diagnosis). Purpose — to evaluate the results of laser corneal confocal microscopy (CCM) in viral uveitis of varying localization. Material and methods. The main study group included 23 patients (23 eyes) diagnosed with unilateral herpesviral uveitis (chorioretinitis), the patients’ age varied from 18 to 79 years. The control group comprised 19 healthy volunteers (38 eyes) aged 20 to 75 years. In addition, the paired eyes of the main group patients were examined. In all patients, standard ophthalmologic examination was complemented with CCM performed on the HRT III device with a corneal module, followed by analysis of the course and structure of corneal nerve fibers (CNF) using copyrighted software Liner 1.2. Conclusion. The preliminary results achieved in this study outline the prospects for further research on the state of cornea (in particular, changes in the course and structure of CNF, and the presence of dendritiform cells of Langerhans) with laser CCM in patients with uveitis of various etiologies. These morphological changes also has potential use as diagnostic markers of inflammation of the uveal tract. The main criteria for assessing the state of cornea in viral uveitis include the following: increased tortuosity of CNF, increase in the number and size of Langerhans cells. Further research — in particular, studying the integrated use of diagnostic methods necessary for the verification of viral uveitis, as well as detailed analysis of the history and clinical picture of the disease — is required to substantiate the inclusion of laser confocal microscopy method in the algorithm for the diagnosis of viral uveitis.
