DSEK Interface Keratitis due to Candida

We present a case report of a patient with a history of DSEK 14 months ago, who presented to our clinic with late onset interface keratitis. Confocal microscopy revealed spores, suggestive of Candida. Patient failed medical therapy with intrastromal injections of voriconazole. A therapeutic penetrating keratoplasty (TPK) was performed with intracameral antifungals and iris biopsy. Pathology slides of cornea revealed fungal spores. Patient had a favorable outcome after the TPK.
