REJECTION OF A CORNEAL TRANSPLATATION IN A PATIENT AFTER COVID-19 VACCINATION (clinical case)

Abstract

Four years have passed since WHO declared the coronavirus a pandemic. During this time, the disease claimed the lives of 6.8 million people. The SARS CoV 2 virus is highly variable and is expected to disappear over time, becoming an endemic infection similar to other respiratory infections. Corneal transplantation is a surgical treatment aimed at restoring the optical and structural properties of a pathologically altered cornea. Exogenous and endogenous causes can lead to transplant rejection, a sharp decrease in vision and subsequent impairment of the patient's ability to work.
