Year: 2025
Type: article
Study design: Case Report
Abstract: This study aimed at assessing the relevant risk factors regarding limbal graft rejection among recipients of cadaveric limbal stem cell transplantation in cases of unilateral limbal stem cell deficiency due to muriatic acid injury. After a biweekly follow up for 6 months, ten patients who developed graft rejection were included in the present study. All patients were admitted and rejection episode was managed with topical and systemic steroid. All of the patients were analyzed for presence of risk factors which might be contributing towards onset of graft rejection. Timing of surgery, glycemic status, past history of Covid infection, number & type of covid vaccination were found to be possible risk factors contributing graft rejection.
