Confocal microscopy revealed gold salt deposits in the cornea of a patient previously treated with gold sodium thiomalate. This imaging technique is valuable for studying corneal metabolism and drug deposition.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Rheumatology
  • Materials Science

Background:

  • Gold sodium thiomalate (GST) is a medication historically used for rheumatoid arthritis.
  • Ocular side effects, including gold salt deposition, can occur with GST treatment.

Observation:

  • A patient with a history of GST treatment underwent ophthalmic examination.
  • Confocal microscopy was utilized to visualize corneal tissue structure and identify reflective particles.

Findings:

  • Highly reflective particles, indicative of gold deposits, were observed within the corneal stroma.
  • The overall layered structure of the cornea remained intact despite the presence of these deposits.

Implications:

  • Confocal microscopy proves effective for detecting gold salt deposition in corneal tissues.
