  • Abstract
  • Look Inside

A 65-year-old woman presented with pain in her right eye since one month before. She had had episodes of uni-or bilateral ocular pain during the past 2 years. Under diagnosis of corneal ulcerat each occasion,the condition had cured with instillation of ofloxacin,fluorometholone,or betamethasone. Her right cornea had two lesions of shallow marginal ulcer. Corneal opacity with neovascularization was present along the whole circumference. Initial treatment with topical ofloxacin and systemic prednisolone proved futile. Ofloxacin-resistantCorynebacteriumwas then isolated from corneal scrapings. The ulcer was brought to cure one week after treatment was switched to instillation of cefmenoxime 6 times daily. This case illustrates that drug-resistant microorganism may be involved in the pathogenesis of corneal ulcer.
