Rose bengal photodynamic antimicrobial therapy combined with amniotic membrane graft for the management of infectious keratitis in a patient with keratoprosthesis
Purpose
To describe the use of Rose Bengal Photodynamic Antimicrobial Therapy (RB-PDAT) combined with amniotic membrane graft (AMG) as a novel surgical technique for infectious keratitis in a patient with Boston Keratoprosthesis (B-Kpro) type 1 Lucia.
Methods
A 91-year-old woman with a history of B-Kpro type 1 Lucia implantation in both eyes presented for routine follow-up complaining of pain and redness in the left eye. Slit-lamp examination revealed a 6 mm corneal infiltrate with an epithelial defect adjacent to the optic stem. After 2 weeks of topical antimicrobial therapy without any improvement, the decision was made to perform RB-PDAT in conjunction with an AMG. The infectious keratitis resolved within 21 days.
Conclusions
The combination of RB-PDAT and AMG may be considered as a surgical alternative in patients with keratoprosthesis complicated by severe infectious keratitis refractory to standard medical treatment.
期刊介绍:
The American Journal of Ophthalmology Case Reports is a peer-reviewed, scientific publication that welcomes the submission of original, previously unpublished case report manuscripts directed to ophthalmologists and visual science specialists. The cases shall be challenging and stimulating but shall also be presented in an educational format to engage the readers as if they are working alongside with the caring clinician scientists to manage the patients. Submissions shall be clear, concise, and well-documented reports. Brief reports and case series submissions on specific themes are also very welcome.
