Infectious crystalline keratopathy (ICK) can affect corneal grafts, leading to scarring and potential vision loss. This case shows successful antibiotic treatment for ICK developing months after a corneal transplant.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Corneal Diseases
  • Infectious Keratitis

Background:

  • Infectious crystalline keratopathy (ICK) is a rare form of microbial keratitis.
  • It is characterized by stromal infiltrates resembling crystals.
  • ICK can lead to significant corneal scarring and visual impairment, often necessitating corneal transplantation.

Observation:

  • A patient developed ICK three months post-keratoplasty.
  • The clinical presentation included characteristic crystalline infiltrates in the corneal graft.

Findings:

  • The patient's ICK infection was diagnosed based on clinical signs and symptoms.
  • Prompt initiation of targeted antibiotic therapy led to successful resolution of the infection.

Implications:

  • This case highlights the possibility of late-onset ICK following corneal transplantation.
  • Successful management with antibiotics underscores the importance of early diagnosis and treatment.
  • Preserving corneal graft integrity through effective antimicrobial strategies is crucial for visual outcomes.
