Abstract EN
Purpose.
To report a case with Exophiala spp.
keratitis in a Portuguese patient.
Methods.
A case report with deep corneal brown-pigmented infiltrates that developed 2 months after a Descemet Stripping Automated Endothelial Keratoplasty (DSAEK) for pseudophakic bullous keratopathy.
Results.
Diagnosis was established by positive direct examination and cultures from the surgically obtained corneal button.
Slit-lamp images and anterior segment optical coherence tomography (AS-OCT) scans were obtained.
Conclusion.
This is the first described case of fungal keratitis caused by Exophiala spp.
in Portugal and, to our knowledge, the first case following DSAEK in the literature.
