| Popis: | The clinical evaluation of infectious keratitis takes place largely through biomicroscopic examination, which presents limitations in the evaluation of the depth of the infiltrate and the exact thickness of the cornea, whether edematous or thinned. In this study, we aim to quantify the human corneal inflammatory response in treated infectious keratitis by anterior segment optical coherence tomography (AS-OCT). Patients with infectious keratitis were recruited prospectively in the ophthalmology department of the military hospital of Rabat between November 2017 and May 2019. Over the study period, 32 patients were included. A standardized scanning protocol was used. The thickness of the infiltrate, when present, and corneal thickness in any area of thinning and any surrounding edematous areas were measured. The various thicknesses gradually decreased over the course of follow-up, providing objective evidence of therapeutic efficacy in the early stages. Improvement in corneal edema and thinning was faster in the early stage. AS-OCT scanning can be used along with slit lamp examination to quantify and objectively follow infectious keratitis. |
