The purpose of this article is to describe the use of simultaneous noncentered photoactivated chromophore for keratitis-corneal collagen cross-linking (PACK-CXL) combined with penetrating keratoplasty in the treatment of a severe marginal spp. keratitis case with imminent corneal perforation. It is a retrospective case report study; it was performed by collecting clinical data, images, video, and postoperative evaluations. The clinical control of the infection was accomplished, despite difficulties in obtaining antifungal medications due to the patient's extremely poor socioeconomic status and essentially nonexistent health insurance. We can conclude that combining simultaneous decentered PACK-CXL with centered penetrating keratoplasty appears to be a safe and effective way of treating patients with fungal marginal keratitis with corneal perforation, in which regular penetrating keratoplasty alone would leave fungal elements in the receptor corneal tissue, which would predispose to infection of the graft.
本文的目的是描述在治疗一例伴有即将发生角膜穿孔的严重边缘性真菌性角膜炎病例时,同步非中心光活化发色团用于角膜炎-角膜胶原交联术(PACK-CXL)联合穿透性角膜移植术的应用情况。这是一项回顾性病例报告研究;通过收集临床数据、图像、视频及术后评估来进行。尽管由于患者社会经济状况极差且基本没有医疗保险,获取抗真菌药物存在困难,但感染的临床控制仍得以实现。我们可以得出结论,将同步偏心PACK-CXL与中心穿透性角膜移植术相结合,似乎是治疗伴有角膜穿孔的真菌性边缘性角膜炎患者的一种安全有效的方法,而单纯常规穿透性角膜移植术会在受体角膜组织中残留真菌成分,这会使移植物易于感染。
