Sterile keratitis after uneventful corneal collagen cross-linking in a patient with Axenfeld-Rieger syndrome

ConclusionsThe mechanism by which the sterile keratitis occurs following CXL remains unclear. For our case, the reason of post-CXL sterile keratitis could be considered as an immune response due to the staphylococcal antigens. Furthermore, the possible developmental disturbance of corneal stroma in ARS might have contributed to the development of post-CXL sterile keratitis.
