In Vivo Confocal Microscopy Characterization of Candida parapsilosis Keratitis

Copyright © 2023 Contact Lens Association of Ophthalmologists..

ABSTRACT: The present clinical case concerns two patients with mycotic keratitis because of Candida parapsilosis in which corneal confocal microscopy presented a characteristic feature of this pathogen. Both described patients used a therapeutic contact lens and administered a therapy with steroid eye drops which are well known predisposing factors for the onset of corneal mycoses. This report can be useful for correctly identifying the pathologic condition and quickly directing the therapy.
