SummaryTo evaluate the results of the application of intrastromal voriconazole in the topical treatment of resistant Aspergillus fumigatus. We present an interventional case report. A 50 mg/0.1 mL solution of voriconazole was injected into the corneal stromal tissue around the infiltration and put on topical voriconazole (1%) after the ulcer had failed to respond to 0.15% (1.5 mg/ml) topical amphotericin B hourly and systemic convantional amphotericin B (0.1 mg/kg) per day. Clinical outcomes were assessed at each visit. After the intervention, a faster reduction in the corneal infiltration and a dramatic therapeutic reponse was observed in the patient.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
