Calotropis procera latex can cause severe eye inflammation, specifically keratitis. Fortunately, steroid eye drops effectively reversed this inflammation in reported cases.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Toxicology
  • Pharmacology

Background:

  • Calotropis procera latex exhibits diverse pharmacological properties.
  • Local application of Calotropis procera latex can induce significant inflammatory responses.

Observation:

  • This report details 10 cases of keratitis following Calotropis procera exposure.
  • Clinical presentation included corneal edema and striate keratopathy.
  • No intraocular inflammation was observed in these cases.

Findings:

  • Calotropis procera-induced keratitis is characterized by specific corneal changes.
  • The observed inflammation was localized to the cornea.

Implications:

  • Understanding the ocular toxicity of Calotropis procera is crucial for prevention and management.
