Abstract

|
Purpose: To report the clinical results of moxifloxacin mixed augmented amniotic membrane transplantation (AMT) in 2 patients with perforating infectious keratitis.
Case summary: Moxifloxacin mixed augmented amniotic membrane transplantations were performed in 2 patients with rapidly deteriorating deep perforated bacterial keratitis. All patients preserved their eyesight. Complete re-epithelization over the amniotic membrane were observed within a month. The corneal surfaces were healed with opacity, and there were no active infectious infiltrations or recurrences for 3 months after application.
Conclusions: Moxifloxacin mixed augmented AMT has proven to be successful both tectonically and physiologically for cases with perforating active bacterial keratitis.
