Abstract
Background: To present two cases who developed fungal keratitis after an organic trauma and who were treated with therapeutic penetrating keratoplasty in the early period. Case presentations: A 14 years old female and a 63 years old male patients came with the complaints of pain after organic trauma. Fungal keratitis was diagnosed in both two cases. TPKP was performed on the 5 th day of the topical antifungal treatment (Case 1), on the 5 th day of the topical antifungal treatment (Case 2) and 7 th day of the trauma (both two cases). Graft transparency was protected in the post-operative period; no recurrence or fungal reactivation was detected in two patients. Conclusion: The study has proven that TPKP performed in the early period of fungal keratitis enables rapid infection eradication and rapid visual success.
