RESUMO
PURPOSE: To evaluate treatment options for candida keratitis and endopthalmitis after corneal transplantation. METHODS: Case reports and literature review. RESULTS: Two patients with keratitis due to Candida glabrata/parapsilosis after corneal transplantation were successfully treated with a combination of topical voriconazole, intracameral voriconazole and amphotericin B, and systemic treatment with flucytosine. CONCLUSIONS: Natamycine and voriconazole topically are preferred therapeutic options for the treatment of fungal keratitis. Systemic flucytosine is a useful alternative additive, particularly for countries where natamycine is not registered as a pharmaceutical agent.
