目的：报道穿透性角膜移植术后可疑的供者-宿主传播的白色隐球菌。方法：回顾文献和一例因Fuchs角膜营养不良接受穿透性角膜移植术并在术后7个月出现持续性角膜浸润的69岁女性的病例报告。结果：在重复角膜移植术时，从原始供者组织培养出白色隐球菌。结论：本病例为角膜移植术后发生隐球菌性角膜炎的罕见病例，怀疑为供体-宿主传播。
Purpose: To report suspected donor-to-host transmission of Cryptococcus albidus after penetrating keratoplasty.Methods: Review of the literature and a case report of a 69-year-old woman who underwent penetrating keratoplasty for Fuchs corneal dystrophy and developed persistent corneal infiltrates 7 months postoperatively are presented.Results: Cryptococcus albidus was cultured from the original donor tissue at the time of the repeat keratoplasty.Conclusion: This case demonstrates an unusual case of cryptococcal keratitis after keratoplasty suspected to be a donor-to-host transmission.
