Keratitis resulting from Thielavia subthermophila Mouchacca.

Abstract:

PURPOSE:The purpose of this study was to report the first case of fungal keratitis resulting from Thielavia sp. METHODS:We conducted a retrospective chart review. RESULTS:A 10-year old girl presented 2 weeks after ocular plant injury with pain and corneal stromal infiltration with central ulceration and ill-defined margins. Cultures of corneal scrapings and biopsy sequence analysis of the ribosomal internal transcribed spacer region isolated Thielavia subthermophila Mouchacca. Clinically, the organism appeared to respond to topical amphotericin B and oral voriconazole. Best-corrected visual acuity at last follow-up visit counted 0.5. CONCLUSIONS:A rare case of Thielavia sp. keratitis was successfully treated with topical amphotericin B and oral voriconazole. Newly developed molecular diagnostic tools contribute to the recognition of a widening spectrum of emerging fungal pathogens capable of causing serious ocular infections.

  • Visual Function and Higher-Order Aberrations in Eyes After Corneal Transplantation: How to Improve Postoperative Quality of Vision.

    abstract::An understanding of corneal optics is important to optimize the visual outcome after eye surgery. Recent advances in the surgical techniques of lamellar keratoplasty have changed the strategies used for corneal transplantation. Lamellar keratoplasty has the advantage of having a lower rate of graft rejection, superior...
