[Use of topical cyclosporin in microcrystalline keratopathy due to Streptococcus].
Infectious crystalline keratopathy is an exceptional but serious complication of penetrating keratoplasty. Streptococcus viridans and a steroid treatment are very often found. The treatment is always lengthy and difficult. The high number of bacteria and the steroid treatment, necessary to prevent rejection, worsen the infection. We report a case of Streptococcus crystalline keratopathy that evolved, despite the treatment, simultaneously toward abscess and acute rejection. Topical cyclosporin treatment was used to maintain an immunosuppression without worsening the infection.
