Ineffectiveness of intrastromal voriconazole for filamentous fungal keratitis
PURPOSE The purpose of this study is to describe the ineffectiveness of intrastromal voriconazole injection for filamentous fungal keratitis by contrasting the effectiveness for yeast keratitis. METHODS We examined seven fungal keratitis patients prospectively. All yeast was identified by molecular phylogenetic analyses of the chromosomal regions coding for the D1/D2 domain of the large-subun...

متن کاملSuccessful Treatment of Postkeratoplasty Fungal Keratitis with Topical and Intrastromal Voriconazole
Objective: Corneal grafts have a major risk of fungal keratitis due to long-term local and sometimes systemic steroid/antibiotic use. The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of intrastromal voriconazole as a therapeutic adjunctive for the management of fungal keratitis in corneal graft. Design: Presentation of two cases of fungal keratitis occurring after corneal transplantation and ...
متن کاملClinical utility of voriconazole eye drops in ophthalmic fungal keratitis
Fungal keratitis is one of the major causes of ophthalmic mycosis and is difficult to treat. The range of common antifungal agents available for fungal keratitis remains inadequate and is generally associated with poor clinical outcomes. Voriconazole is a new generation triazole antifungal agent. Only marketed in systemic formulation and, with broad-spectrum activity and high intraocular penetr...
متن کاملIntrastromal injection of bevacizumab in patients with corneal neovascularization.
Corneal neovascularization (NV) not only reduces visual acuity, but it also causes loss of the cornea's immune privilege, strongly contributing to a worse prognosis in penetrating keratoplasty. Several mediators participate in corneal angiogenesis, and the role of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) has been extensively proven. Anti-VEGF agents have been shown to be effective in slowing t...
