Abstract

Purpose: To present successful management of severe corneal hydrops by corneal optical coherence tomography (OCT) guidance and intracameral application of eye platelet-rich plasma (E-PRP) in a case with Down syndrome. Methods: A 36-year-old woman with Down syndrome presented with acute vision loss, pain, photophobia, and corneal edema in the left eye. Clinical examination revealed keratoconus in the right eye and extreme keratoconus with severe corneal hydrops in the left eye. Anterior segment OCT (MS-39, Costruzione Strumenti Oftalmici, Firenze, Italy) showed intrastromal cystic fluid collection and ruptured and detached Descemet membrane. The OCT-guided management of hydrops is first described in this case report. Results: Medical treatment and intracameral sulfur hexafluoride injection failed. A sterile 0.3 mL of E-PRP was injected into the anterior chamber. Clinical and anatomical improvement began from the first postoperative day, and corneal edema totally resolved at 1 week. Postoperatively, no significant side effect was noted except an early transient moderate (28 mm Hg) intraocular pressure peak. Anterior segment-OCT demonstrated dramatic normalization in corneal morphology with total disappearance of fluid in the cystic intracorneal space, closure of the DM rupture, and DM reattachment. The patient was stable during the 6-month follow-up.Conclusions:In this case, intraocular E-PRP was a promising, apparently safe, and effective treatment option in management of corneal hydrops, in which conventional approaches failed. This is the first case in the literature to describe OCT appearance of corneal hydrops and intracameral use of E-PRP for the resolution of DM rupture in acute corneal hydrops. © 2019 Wolters Kluwer Health, Inc.

Abstract

Caso clínico: Se presenta el caso de un paciente con queratitis neurotrófica en el ojo izquierdo que hemos tratado con PRP sólido y Tutopatch®. Plasma rico en plaquetas (PRP) sólido se depositó en el lecho de la úlcera siendo cubierto con Tutopatch® suturado a la conjuntiva. Discusión: Encontramos esta forma de tratamiento muy efectiva para úlceras progresivas. El Tutopatch® puede constituir una alternativa al trasplante de membrana amniótica. Case reports: We present the case of a patient with neurotrophic queratitis in the left eye treated with a Tutopatch® cover and platelet-rich plasma (PRP). Solid autologous PRP was placed in the bed of the ulcer and Tutopatch® was sutured to the conjunctiva. Discussion: We found this form of treatment very effective for progressive ulcers. Tutopatch® may constitute an alternative to amniotic membrane transplantation.

34. Pyrenochaeta keratinophila sp nov., isolated from an ocular infection in Spain

Abstract

The new coelomycete Pyrenochaeta keratinophila, isolated from corneal scrapings of a case of keratitis in Spain, is described and illustrated. This fungus is morphologically characterized by grey-olivaceous to greenish olivaceous colonies, scarce pycnidial setae placed mainly near the ostiole and production of phialoconidia from the aerial mycelium. The latter feature is unknown in any other species of the genus Pyrenocha eta. Sequencing of the ITS rDNA region of this clinical strain confirmed this proposal and revealed its close genetic relationship with the Leptosphaeriaceae. (C) 2009 Revista Iberoamericana de Micologia.

Abstract

We report a new fungus as an agent of fungal keratitis in a diabetic woman. The fungal etiology was established by classic microbiology and PCR following 3 months of antibacterial therapy. The morphological features of the isolate and sequence analysis of the internal transcribed spacer region indicate a new species of Pyrenochaeta (Coelomycetes)., We report a new fungus as an agent of fungal keratitis in a diabetic woman.

50. Endogenous Endophthalmitis by Propionibacterium Acnesassociated with Leflunomide and Adalimumab Therapy

Abstract

Purpose To report a case of unusual endogenous endophthalmitis associated with the use of leflunomide and adalimumab.Methods A 48-year-old woman on treatment with leflunomide and a dalimumab for rheumatoid arthritis developed an endogenous endophthalmitis caused byPropionibacterium acnes. Diagnosis was confirmed by polymerase chain reaction and positive cultures. The patient underwent surgical treatment and intravitreal vancomycin, but the eye developed retinal fibrosis and untreatable retinal detachment.Results This report of endogenous endophthalmitis associated with the use of anti-tumor necrosis factor alpha (anti-TNF-α) drugs is consistent with those in the literature.P. acnes may induce pathologic reactions in compromised patients and cause endophthalmitis, but only after ocular surgery or in intravenous drug users. The Naranjo probability scale indicated a probable relationship between the drugs and the infection.Conclusions Awareness of atypical infectious conditions in patients on anti-TNF-α drugs is critical for early diagnosis and good outcome.
