A member asked:
Is it possible to have such mild ocular hsv that it doesn't show dendrites in the flueroscein blue light test? how to get a diagnosis in this case?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Possible & unlikely: I have never seen a case of ocular HSV without either blisters or dendrites. In that case the only way to be certain would be a positive viral culture.
