  • Title: Exophiala dermatitidis keratitis after laser in situ keratomileusis.
    Author: Patel SR, Hammersmith KM, Rapuano CJ, Cohen EJ.
    Journal: J Cataract Refract Surg; 2006 Apr; 32(4):681-4. PubMed ID: 16698496.
    Abstract:
    A 52-year-old man had laser in situ keratomileusis in March 2002 and 2 weeks later had a corneal infection that was found to be caused by Exophiala dermatitidis. This infection waxed and waned for 9 months despite therapy with natamycin, itraconazole, and fluconazole but eventually responded to topical amphotericin. He recovered good visual acuity in this eye with a rigid gas-permeable lens. This case shows the importance of selecting the appropriate agent in fungal keratitis.
