Abstract

Purpose. The representation of the clinical case of corneal ulcer course with unknown etiology in presence of patient's acute toxic and allergic reaction. The patient was under long-term observation of the local ophthalmologist and didn't show positive response to treatment. Material and methods. Patient examination on the date of his encounter sug-gested bacterial etiology of the process. However, the etiological factor wasn't re-vealed by laboratory tests. The presence of toxic and allergic components in biomi-croscopy of both eyes, long-term prestudy antibacterial therapy, character of corneal ulcer gave rise to prescription of the therapy. Results. The main areas of the therapy are allergy medications, antibacterial and antifungal drugs. The positive response in the disease course allowed us to be-lieve that the treatment was accurately prescribed Conclusion. Protracted course of the corneal ulcer without positive response is the subject to estimate the presence of toxic and allergic components. Considering the duration of the disease the antifungal drugs were prescribed at the beginning of the therapy, in spite of the assumption that bacterial etiology of the process may take place. Keywords: corneal ulcer, toxic and allergic reaction.
