在热带和亚热带国家,真菌性角膜炎是角膜盲的一个重要原因。随着现代医学的进展,早期真菌性角膜炎通过药物或者手术治疗后治愈率有了显著改善,但是很多真菌性角膜炎患者由于缺乏及时合理的治疗,病情变得迁延难治,预后较差。随着无数学者的努力,近年来在难治性真菌性角膜炎领域在抗真菌药物、给药方式及其他治疗方式上有了一些新的进展,目前可选的难治性真菌性角膜炎治疗方式各有特点及优劣之处。了解目前可用的抗真菌治疗方式、其适应证及不良反应等,是处理难治性真菌性角膜炎病例的必要条件。
Fungal keratitis is a significant cause of corneal blindness in tropical and subtropical countries. With the development of modern medicine, the cure rate of early fungal keratitis has been significantly improved after medical or surgical treatment. However, due to the lack of timely and reasonable treatment for many patients with fungal keratitis, the disease has become difficult to treat and the prognosis is poor. With the efforts of numerous scholars, some new advances have been made in the treatment of recalcitrant fungal keratitis in recent years, such as antifungal drugs and administration methods. At present, the treatment methods of recalcitrant fungal keratitis have their own characteristics, advantages and disadvantages. It is necessary to understand the available antifungal therapies, their indications and side effects for the treatment of recalcitrant fungal keratitis.
真菌性角膜炎是我国导致角膜盲的重要原因之一。由于部分患者在感染早期缺乏合理治疗,导致病情迁延难治,最终行角膜移植是主要的治疗手段。然而真菌感染十分顽固,术后仍有一定概率复发。因此,了解真菌性角膜炎的最新研究进展以及不同类型抗真菌药物和角膜移植手术的优劣,根据适应证选择合理的治疗方案,才能最大程度控制感染,降低真菌复发率,挽救患者视力。与此同时,对角膜移植后真菌复发的相关文献进行研究,总结其复发规律、影响因素和临床特征以及治疗手段和预后。为制订合理的、符合国情的治疗策略提供参考依据。
Fungal keratitis is one of the important causes of corneal blindness in China. Due to the lack of reasonable treatment for some patients in the early stage of infection, the disease is protracted and refractory, and eventually, corneal transplantation is the main treatment. However, Fungal keratitis infection is very stubborn, and there is still a certain probability of recurrence after surgery. Therefore, understanding the latest research advances in fungal keratitis as well as the advantages and disadvantages of different types of antifungal drugs and corneal transplantation, and choosing a reasonable treatment plan according to the indications can maximize the control of the infection, reduce the recurrence rate of the fungus and save the vision of patients. In addition, the relevant literature on fungal recurrence after corneal transplantation was studied to summarize its recurrence pattern, influencing factors and clinical features, as well as treatment means and prognosis. The purpose of this study is to provide a reference basis for formulating a reasonable treatment strategy in line with China’s national conditions.
