目的:报道1例罕见的被确诊为由镰孢菌属镰刀菌引起的与接触镜有关的严重的真菌性角膜炎,该病例最后通过治疗性穿透性角膜移植术成功治疗.方法:病例报告.结果:一位39岁的马来西亚女士,私企职员,配戴长戴性软性接触镜18a.感右眼剧痛、眼红10d.眼部检查见多个长有伪足的圆形旁中心角膜溃疡,前房少许积脓,临床诊断为真菌性角膜炎.经重复角膜刮片检查真菌和细菌结果均阴性后给予局部广谱抗生素和抗真菌治疗,但患者右眼角膜炎病情进一步加重,又给予其他的局部和全身抗真菌药物治疗,患者右眼角膜溃疡进一步加深.最后,为保留眼球,限制感染,在发病1.5mo后,给予患者治疗性的穿透性角膜移植术.术后,角膜组织病理学检查和PCR检查证实为镰孢菌属镰刀菌感染所致.结论:这是1例罕见的由镰孢菌属镰刀菌感染引起的严重的与接触镜有关的真菌性角膜炎.这也说明了在真菌性角膜炎的治疗上存在挑战性.为控制真菌性角膜炎进一步发展,并保护眼球,治疗性的穿透性角膜移植术应该是最后的选择.%AIM: To report a rare case of severe contact lens related fungal keratitis due to fusarium sp, which not only was successfully treated with therapeutic penetrating keratoplasty but also aided in the confirmation of diagnosis. METHODS:Case report.RESULTS: A 39-year-old private clerk Malay lady who wore extended wear soft contact lens for the past 18 years, presented with acute right eye pain and redness for 10 days duration. Ocular examination showed multiple round feathery paracentral corneal ulcers with presence of minimal hypopyon. Clinical diagnosis of presumed fungal keratitis was made. She was treated with broad spectrum topical antibiotics and antifungal agents after repeated corneal scrapping was negative either for fungi or for the bacteria. However, she developed deterioration of the right eye keratitis. Other topical and systemic antifungal agents were instituted. Unfortunately the right corneal ulcer became further deteriorating. Finally a therapeutic penetrating keratoplasty has done in order to preserve the globe and limit the infection after one and a half months of presentation. The diagnosis and the etiology agent were only confirmed based on histopathological examina-tion and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) from corneal button revealed fusarium sp.CONCLUSION:This case highlights the rare case of fusarium sp as an etiology of severe contact lens related fungal keratitis. This case also illustrates the challenge in managing fungal keratitis. Therapeutic penetrating keratoplasty is the ultimate choice in controlling further infection and perserving the globe.
