Survey of Ophthalmology, 1998
Acanthamoeba species are an important cause of microbial keratitis that may cause severe ocular inflammation and visual loss. The first cases were recognized in 1973, but the disease remained very rare until the 1980s, when an increase in incidence mainly associated with contact lens wear was reported.

Cornea, 1991
Moraxella corneal ulcers are uncommon but may be complicated by marked inflammation and corneal perforation. In a series of eight cases treated over a period of 6 years, despite appropriate antibiotic therapy, descemetoceles and/or perforations developed in four cases, resulting in loss of the eye in two cases.

Infectious keratitis is a medical emergency. Improper management can lead to marked loss of vision. This review identifies recent trends in the study of infectious keratitis.A multicountry outbreak of Fusarium keratitis emphasizes that contact lens wear is a major risk factor for infectious keratitis.

As Jones has emphasized, the successful management of microbial keratitis, fungal or otherwise, necessitates five steps: (1) clinical suspicion and clinical diagnosis; (2) performing the proper laboratory procedures; (3) initiating antimicrobial therapy based on the results of laboratory studies; (4) modifying the initial therapy based on the clinical ...

Der Ophthalmologe, 2008
The case of a previously healthy 48-year-old patient (not a contact lens wearer) with a Fusarium keratitis is reported. He had developed a deep corneal ulcer with total stromal infiltration (Fusarium ssp.). An intensive topical and systemic antiinfectious medication was initiated, along with some procedures (keratoplasty, rinsing of the anterior ...

Cytomegalovirus (CMV) keratitis, albeit an uncommon manifestation of this ubiquitous pathogen, can lead to devastating ocular morbidity. Timely diagnosis and appropriate treatment are also unfortunately uncommon. The purpose of this review is to discuss recently published literature regarding the epidemiology, pathophysiology, diagnosis, and therapy of

Keratitis with Hypoparathyroidism
American Journal of Ophthalmology, 1977Chronic kiratitis developed in two children with nonsurgical hypoparathyroidism, as part of an autosomal recessive syndrome that included adrenal insufficiency and moniliasis in what was postulated to be an autoimmune disease. The corneal changes may also have been caused by autoimmune mechanism.

Bacterial keratitis is an urgent problem requiring recognition, laboratory evaluation, and administration of therapy. The recognized risk factors are outlined. The likely bacterial causes may vary among regions of the country over a period of time. Topical fortified antibiotic eyedrops are the mainstay of therapy; indications for other modalities of ...
