This study reports the first case of fungal keratitis caused by Arthographis kalrae following excimer laser keratomileusis. Topical natamycin successfully treated the infection when voriconazole failed, highlighting a unique clinical presentation.
Area of Science:
- Ophthalmology
- Medical Mycology
Background:
- Fungal keratitis (keratomycosis) is an infection of the cornea.
- Arthographis kalrae is a rare cause of fungal keratitis, typically associated with soil exposure or contact lens wear.
- Excimer laser keratomileusis is a common refractive surgery procedure.
