Povidone-iodine, amphotericin B reduce postop infections in patients with Boston K-Pro
CHICAGO — Prophylactic follow-up treatment with additional povidone-iodine and amphotericin B after Boston type 1 keratoprosthesis implantation significantly reduced the rate of postoperative infections, according to a speaker here.“The purpose of our study was to compare the incidence of postoperative infection in those treated with just topical antibacterials vs. those treated with povidone-iodine plus or minus the amphotericin B,” Jeffery D. Welder, MD, said at the American Academy of Ophthalmology meeting.
