Blood Serum in the Treatment of Epitheliopathy of Various Genesis. Clinical Observations

The article reviews the results of the use of blood serum in the treatment of epitheliopathy of various genesis. Three clinical cases are presented, each of which was accompanied by epitheliopathy: neurotrophic keratitis (stage I), acanthamoebic keratitis (stage I), and epitheliopathy developed due to toxic-allergic reaction. In epitheliopathy on the background of acanthamoeba keratitis and toxic-allergic reaction, in addition to etiopathogenetic therapy, instillations of autologous serum were used as an adjuvant treatment. In neurotrophic keratopathy autologous serum was used as an independent etiopathogenetic treatment. The serum has neuroprotective, regenerative, anti-infective, anti-inflammatory and tear-replacement properties.
