[The state-of-the art and prospects for the pharmacological therapy of infectious and allergic eye diseases].

The inflammatory, infectious and allergic diseases of the eye still remain an acute problem in practical ophthalmology due to their high prevalence, relapsing clinical course, a growing frequency rate of mycotic and acanthoamebic keratitis and a growing number of resistant causative agents of bacterial keratitis. 55.3% of corneal pathologies are related with the herpes simplex virus, 37.3%--with secondary bacterial infection, 33.2%--with primary bacterial infection, 6.7%--with mycotic infection and 5.6%--with acathoamebic infection. Algorithms of pharmacological therapy are suggested for a majority of inflammatory lesions of the eye, i.e. for herpetic keratitis, ulcerous keratitis caused by blue pus bacillus, gonococcus, staphylococcus, fungi, acanthomebas, as well as for adenoviral and Chlamidia conjunctivitis and allergy of the eye. The author points out that the treatment must be complex, including specific therapy--antiviral one (zovirax ointment, interferon locally, and zovirax or valtrex perorally), antibacterial one (okacin, tobrex, vitabact, fucithamic locally, quinine antibiotics perorally, aminoglycosides or cephalosporins subconjunctivally or intramuscularly) and antimycotic one (locally and perorally). Another part of the complex therapy is equally important--pathogenetic one (carnosine, taufon, vitacic, corneregel ointment), antiallergic one (spersallerg, allergophtal, alomide, lecrolin), antinflammatory one (naclof, maxidex, cyclolip) tears replacing one (natural tears, ophthagel) and immunomodeling one (affinoleicin, lycopid, tactivin).
