Comment on the Article: Outcomes of Therapeutic Keratoplasty in Cases of Refractory Infectious Keratitis

This communication is a continuation of the article titled “Delhi infectious keratitis study: updat‎e on clinico‑microbiological profile and outcomes of infectious keratitis” published in the previous edition of your Journal.1 In the aforementioned article,1 we had presented the microbiological profile of infectious keratitis along with the antimicrobial sensitivity pattern, and we would like to provide supplemental information about the 157 patients in the study who underwent therapeutic penetrating keratoplasty (TPK), with regard to their anatomical and visual outcomes postsurgery. Out of these 157 patients, 112 (71.34%) were male and 45 (28.66%) were female, and the average age of the patients undergoing TPK was 54.01 years (range, 12–85 years). As already mentioned in the article,1 corneal button culture yielded bacterial growth in 66 cases (42.04%) and fungal growth in 47 cases (29.94%), and 44 cases (34.65%) yielded no growth.
