Prions have emerged in the past 5 years as serious transmissible infective agents. Ocular tissue transplantation has come under scrutiny after potential infected tissue was transplanted into healthy patients. In this review we examine the evidence for the risk of transmission of prions after scleral transplantation and explore alternative materials that may be used in ocular surgery.
朊病毒在过去5年中已成为严重的可传播感染因子。在潜在的感染组织被移植到健康患者体内后,眼组织移植受到了审查。在这篇综述中,我们研究了巩膜移植后朊病毒传播风险的证据,并探索了可用于眼科手术的替代材料。
