| Core Tip |
Therapeutic penetrating keratoplasty is a surgical procedure wherein diseased infected host corneal tissue is replaced by a full-thickness donor cornea for eliminating infection and maintaining globe integrity. However, recurrence of infection in the graft remains a concern, especially in cases of resistant organisms such as Acanthamoeba, Pythium, or microsporidia or even in cases of some bacterial and fungal keratitis. The purpose of this review is to provide a comprehensive review and an update of peer-reviewed literature published over the last decade with emphasis on recalcitrant infections due to these pathogens. |
