Corneal toxicity of propamidine.

K J Johns1, W S Head, D M O'Day.   

Abstract

Two patients with Acanthamoeba keratitis developed a corneal abnormality following prolonged treatment with topical 0.1% [corrected] propamidine isethionate. In both instances, withdrawal of drug therapy resulted in a gradual clearing of the keratopathy, with no permanent sequelae. The changes we observed may be confused with those of active Acanthamoeba infection.
