Efficacy of supratarsal injection of triamcinolone acetonide and dexamethasone sodium phosphate in treating paediatric vernal keratoconjunctivitis in suburban Malaysia
This study aims to describe the treatment efficacy of supratarsal injection of triamcinolone acetonide and dexamethasone sodium phosphate for paediatric vernal keratoconjuctivitis(VKC)over a 5-year-period in Hospital Universiti Sains Malaysia. Totally 10 patients were treated with this combination injection had clinical improvement by 1mo post injection. The main complication was increased intraocular pressure(4 patients). Four patients had recurrences within 6mo. We concluded that the clinical response to supratarsal combination corticosteroids in VKC is fairly similar to that reported in the literature using a single corticosteroid agent. However, the risk of increased intraocular pressure is higher.
