Long-term prognosis of penetrating keratoplasty in a patient with limited form of Scleroderma- a case report

This case illustrates the significant impact of systemic autoimmune disorders like CREST syndrome on the prognosis of PKP in patients with MCD. It highlights the necessity for diligent systemic evaluation and possibly more aggressive immunosuppresive strategies to manage graft rejections and prolong graft survival in such complex clinical scenarios.
