Abstract:
:One of the problems with corneal grafting is the occurrence of rejection. Immune reaction is considered to be an important cause of graft failure. Early recognition of such graft reaction can frequently be treated successfully with intensive topical administration of corticosteroids. Generally, I prefer to add systemic corticosteroids and immunosuppressive agents such as azathioprine. In the present study two cases are described to illustrate the use of azathioprine and demonstrate that even severe and recurrent graft reactions can be successfully treated with immunosuppressive agents.
