Аннотация
PURPOSE: To describe the presentation and subsequent management of a case of severe gonococcal keratitis in a young man.
DESIGN: Case report.
METHODS: A young man presented with severe gonococcal keratitis. Topical and systemic antibiotics were given with no improvement, and progressive corneal melting was noted. Deep lamellar keratoplasty was performed. The clarity and state of corneal graft and the postoperative visual acuity were noted.
RESULTS: At 6 months posttreatment, the graft was clear, and no recurrence of infection was noticed. Corrected visual acuity was 20/25.
CONCLUSION: Deep lamellar keratoplasty should be considered as a therapeutic option in patients with severe gonococcal keratitis that does not respond to antibiotic treatment.
