Zusammenfassung: | In this case, medical treatment failed, despite in vitro susceptibility of micro-organisms to antibiotics and antifungal drugs. [...]immunosuppression (that is, corticosteroids, ciclosporin), necessary to prevent graft rejection, worsened the infection and did not prevent the acute rejection process from developing. [...]this case suggests that local immunosuppression and factors related to the patient ocular surface may be predisposing factors for the development of ICK. |
