Summary
Infectious crystalline keratopathy (ICK) can develop after starting systemic mycophenolate mofetil (MMF). Bacterial persistence may occur even after clinical resolution of this rare eye condition.
Area of Science:
- Ophthalmology
- Microbiology
Background:
- Infectious crystalline keratopathy (ICK) is a rare corneal disease.
- It is typically associated with local immunosuppression, such as topical steroids or post-keratoplasty.
- Systemic immunosuppression's role in ICK is less understood.
