To report the use of accelerated photoactivated chromophore for keratitis-corneal collagen cross-linking (PACK-CXL) as a first-line treatment in a patient with an atypical fungal keratitis.
Case report and literature review.
A patient who presented with a painful peripheral corneal infiltrate underwent PACK-CXL with a local limited abrasion and accelerated ultraviolet-A irradiation at 365 μm and 9 mW/cm² for 10 minutes. Cultures grew Aureobasidium pullulans. The corneal epithelium closed completely within 3 days and the infiltrate was completely eradicated without administration of antibiotics.
Accelerated PACK-CXL was successfully used as a first-line and sole treatment in a case of early fungal keratitis caused by Aureobasidium pullulans. Further characterization of the antifungal effect of PACK-CXL is needed in prospective studies.
报告在一名非典型真菌性角膜炎患者中,使用加速光活化发色团进行角膜胶原交联治疗角膜炎(PACK-CXL)作为一线治疗方法的情况。
病例报告及文献综述。
一名出现周边角膜疼痛性浸润的患者接受了PACK-CXL治疗,伴有局部有限擦伤,并在365μm波长、9mW/cm²强度下进行加速紫外线A照射10分钟。培养结果显示为出芽短梗霉。角膜上皮在3天内完全愈合,浸润灶在未使用抗生素的情况下被完全清除。
在一例由出芽短梗霉引起的早期真菌性角膜炎病例中,加速PACK-CXL成功用作一线且唯一的治疗方法。前瞻性研究需要进一步明确PACK-CXL的抗真菌作用特征。
