ABSTRACT
ABSTRACT Infectious keratitis is rare following laser vision correction. We present a case of aggressive fungal keratitis caused by Aspergillus flavus, following laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) in the setting of a unique environmental risk factor. We describe the key features of the acute case presentation, which guided empirical medical and surgical treatment, resulting in the most favorable outcome found in the literature, to date.

Nós descrevemos as principais características da apresentação caso agudo, que orientou tratamento médico e cirúrgico empírico, demonstrando resultado mais favorável do que o encontrado na literatura até o momento.
