PURPOSE: To present clinical, microbiologic, and histopathologic features of keratitis due to Candida parapsilosis.
METHODS: Clinicomicrobiologic evaluation of four patients (four eyes) with culture-proven C. parapsilosis keratitis. The patients were evaluated for symptoms, visual acuity, clinical observations, microbiologic examination of corneal scrapings, and pathologic examination of corneal buttons.
RESULTS: Three cases were observed after penetrating keratoplasty, and one case occurred after inhalation of corticosteroids. Clinical presentation of C. parapsilosis keratitis showed a great diversity. There was one case of crystalline keratopathy and three cases of suppurative corneal infiltrate. Histopathology of corneal buttons showed interlamellar accumulations of yeast. Medical treatment included topical amphotericin B and systemic triazoles. Penetrating keratoplasty was required in three patients.
CONCLUSION: Risk factors for C. parapsilosis keratitis may include corticosteroid use and prior corneal transplantation. The prognosis of C. parapsilosis keratitis with antifungal and surgical therapy may vary from good visual outcome to intraocular extension with phthisis bulbi.
