2.8.2. Infectious Keratitis: The Corneal Threat

This clinical explainer tackles the sight-threatening emergency of infectious keratitis. We explore the diverse causes of this corneal threat, from bacteria and viruses to fungi and parasites, and outline the critical diagnostic and therapeutic pathways. Join us as we identify the rogues' gallery of pathogens that can invade the cornea, including common culprits like Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Staphylococcus aureus, as well as Herpes Simplex Virus. We'll walk through the essential diagnostic tools of investigation, from corneal scraping to NAATs and KOH preparation, to ensure an accurate diagnosis. Learn about the pathogen-specific treatment protocols that are essential for preserving vision. Finally, we'll cover special cases like contact lens-associated keratitis, discuss prevention, and review the devastating complications of untreated infections.
