PCR-Based Evaluation of Viral Load Reduction in Adenoviral Conjunctivitis: A Comparative Study of Ganciclovir and Povidone-Iodine

The combination of PVP-I/LE effectively reduced viral load and improved clinical outcomes in adenoviral conjunctivitis. PVP-I significantly decreased viral load in the early phase, while PVP-I/LE and GCV/LE combinations led to faster clinical improvement. Subepithelial infiltrates were significantly lower in the PVP-I/LE group, suggesting this combination may help prevent complications and offer an effective treatment option.
