Bilateral Necrotizing Herpes Simplex Keratitis in an Immunocompetent Patient With Genetic Analysis of Herpes Simplex Virus 1

Conclusions: We successfully performed an unprecedented genetic analysis of an HSV-1 strain isolated from a case of bilateral necrotizing HSK in an immunocompetent patient. The association of the HSV-1 genotype with the clinical manifestation remains unclear, calling for more data from new cases, especially from different geographic regions.
