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.
