Abstract

A 47-year-old man and 14-year-old boy presented with a persistent redness and pain in their eyes. The diagnosis was kera- titis. Aspergillus fumigatus was isolated from their corneas. Fungal keratitis occurs very rarely without trauma and shows persistency if not treated properly. The resistance to antibiotic treatment should be noticed and the diagnosis of fungal keratitis considers. Here we present two consecutive cases of Aspergillus fumigatus keratitis that developed without any trauma and their treatment. 1% voriconazole should be considered as the first-line medication in spontaneous Aspergillus fumigatus keratitis.

Özet

Kırk yedi yaşında ve ondört yaşında iki erkek hasta gözlerinde inatçı kızarıklık ve ağrı şikayetleri ile başvurdu. Keratit tanısı ile tedavi başlandı. Hastaların kornealarından Aspergillus fumigatus izole edildi. Fungal keratitler çok nadiren her- hangi bir korneal travma olmaksızın ortaya çıkabilir ve uygun olarak tedavi edilmezlerse devamlılık gösterirler. Antibiyotik tedavisine direnç olması dikkate alınmalı ve fungal keratit düşünülmelidir. Biz burada herhangi bir travma olmaksızın ge- lişmiş olan ardışık iki Aspergillus fumigatus olgusunu ve tedavilerini sunmaktayız. Vorikonazol %1 spontan olarak gelişmiş olan Aspergillus fumigatus keratitlerinde ilk tedavi seçeneği olarak düşünülmelidir.
