To report the first case of Candida donor to host transmission following descemet membrane endothelial keratoplasty (DMEK).
A retrospective case report.
A patient underwent uneventful DMEK. Following surgery the donor rim was culture positive for Candida. The patient developed fungal endophthalmitis that was treated medically with multiple injections of voriconazole and amphotericin. Medical treatment was unable to clear the infection and removal of the donor material was required. Following removal the infection subsided.
Candida interface keratitis and endophthalmitis can occur following DMEK and may be difficult to treat medically. Early removal of the donor material should be considered.
报告首例在Descemet膜内皮角膜移植术(DMEK)后发生的念珠菌供体到宿主传播病例。
一项回顾性病例报告。
一名患者接受了顺利的DMEK手术。术后供体边缘念珠菌培养呈阳性。患者发生真菌性眼内炎,通过多次注射伏立康唑和两性霉素进行药物治疗。药物治疗无法清除感染,需要移除供体材料。移除后感染消退。
DMEK术后可发生念珠菌性界面角膜炎和眼内炎,药物治疗可能困难。应考虑早期移除供体材料。
