Özet:

 


Background: To
present two cases who developed fungal keratitis after an organic trauma and
who were treated with therapeutic penetrating keratoplasty in the early period.


Case
presentations: A 14
years old female and a 63 years old male patients came with the complaints of
pain after organic trauma. Fungal keratitis was diagnosed in both two cases.
TPKP was performed on the 5th day of the topical antifungal
treatment (Case 1), on the 5th day of the topical antifungal
treatment (Case 2)  and 7th
day of the trauma (both two cases). Graft transparency was protected in the
post-operative period; no recurrence or fungal reactivation was detected in two
patients.


Conclusion: The study has proven that TPKP performed in the early period
of fungal keratitis enables rapid infection eradication and rapid visual
success.
