Abstract
A 78-year-old female patient developed mycotic keratitis in her right eye three months after penetrating keratoplasty. Multiple myeloma is presumed to have been the predisposing factor. Candida albicans was isolated from the aqueous humor at the time of surgery. Treatment consisted of systemic ketoconazole (p.o.) and miconazole (i.v.); miconazole eye drops were applied topically and amphotericin B was instilled into the anterior chamber. Resolution of the corneal infection was ultimately achieved with this therapy.
