Keratomykose – Therapiestandards und aktuelle Entwicklungen

Zusammenfassung

Die mykotische Keratitis ist ein verhältnismäßig seltenes, aber sehr ernst zu nehmendes ophthalmologisches Krankheitsbild mit potenziell visusbedrohendem Verlauf. Seit etwa 2 Jahrzehnten ist eine Häufigkeitszunahme der Pilzkeratitis festzustellen, möglicherweise bedingt durch die vermehrte Verwendung von weichen Kontaktlinsen. Dieser Beitrag gibt einen Überblick über die typischen klinischen Zeichen und Symptome der Keratomykose und stellt Bewährtes sowie neue Entwicklungen und Erkenntnisse im Bereich der Diagnostik und Therapie der mykotischen Keratitis dar.

Abstract

Mycotic keratitis is a comparatively rare but serious ophthalmological disease, that can possibly lead to a severe loss of vision up to blindness. Over the last two decades an increase of cases with mycotic keratitis has been noticed, which is possibly caused by an increased use of soft contact lenses. This article gives an overview of the typical clinical signs and symptoms of keratomycosis, tried and tested diagnostics and therapy as well as new diagnostic and therapeutic developments and findings.
