Feline herpesvirus-1 (FHV-1) associated ocular lesions and it’s treatment was presented in two adult cats and one kitten. Adult cats were showing corneal edema, conjunctivitis and corneal sequestrum while ocular discharge, conjunctivitis and keratitis was predominant in the kitten. Conjunctival swabs obtained from the cats were evaluated with PCR and found positive against FHV-1. Effectiveness of systemic anti-herpes drug, Famciclovir combination with L-lysine in the clinical management of FHV-1 were investigated. Famciclovir was found to be an effective drug in combination with the L-lysine in the treatment of FHV-1 infection. The treatment was well tolerated and the clinical signs were resolved in all cats

Bu çalışmada, üç kedide kedi herpesvirus Tip-1 (FHV-1) ile ilişkili gözlenen göz bulguları ve tedavisi üzerinde durulmuştur. Çalışmaya göz bulguları bulunan iki ergin ve bir yavru kedi dahil edilmiştir. Ergin kedilerde korneal ödem, konjunktivit ve korneal sekester gözlenirken, yavru kedide öne çıkan bulgular göz akıntısı konjunktivit ve keratit olarak izlenmiştir. Kedilerden elde edilen konjunktival svaplar FHV-1 yönünden PCR ile değerlendirilmiş ve pozitif bulunmuştur. Tedavide sistemik anti-herpes ilaç olarak Famciclovir’in (Famvir, Novartis) Llysine ile kombinasyonu kullanılmıştır. FHV-1 enfeksiyonunun tedavisinde Famciclovir’in L-lysine ile kombinasyonu etkili bulunmuştur. Her üç kedide de tedavinin iyi tolere edildiği ve klinik bulguların düzeldiği izlenmiştir.
