Abstract
|
|
|
|
We report a case of amniotic membrane transplantation rejection that occurred after the amniotic membrane from the same donor during the treatment of an infectious corneal ulcer. The patient was hospitalized due to continuous foreign body sensation and ocular pain still remaining after the foreign body was removed. After the corneal ulcer was diagnosed, topical antibiotics were applied for ten days. Due to the continued existence of an epithelial defect, the patient was given an amniotic membrane transplant. However, the treatment failed, we performed amniotic membrane retransplantion. After the retransplantation of amniotic membrane, hypopyon was discovered and responded to topical and systemic steroids. We experienced a case of rejection of amniotic membrane transplantation for infected corneal ulcer, which occurs when transplanting amnion that was obtained from the same donor. It is considered necessary to recognize that rejection may occur during amniotic membrane retransplantation if the amnion is from the same donor.
