Accelerated corneal crosslinking to treat Acanthamoeba and Fusarium coinfection of the cornea
Bibliographic record
Abstract
A 44-year-old man presented with Acanthamoeba and Fusarium coinfection keratitis. Fifteen years before, he had hyperopic laser in situ keratomileusis, and the coinfection was under the flap. The keratitis was nonresponsive to topical and systemic therapy; therefore, accelerated corneal crosslinking (CXL) with photoactivated riboflavin (photoactivated chromophore for keratitis) was performed to prevent a corneal perforation. After the treatment, there was unexpected rapid corneal melting with subsequent perforation. A reconstructive penetrating keratoplasty was promptly performed and was effective in resolving the coinfection. The current protocol for the application of photoactivated riboflavin CXL should be improved, and clinical criteria for applying this technique are required. Photoactivated riboflavin CXL might be an effective alternative to conventional agents in some cases of fungal and/or amoeba keratitis. However, in cases of deep stromal infections on previous surgically treated anterior stroma, it should not be considered a viable option.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
