  • Abstract
  • Look Inside

A 65-year-old male presented with pain in his left eye. He had had recurrent keratitis in the past 6 years and had been treated by antibiotics and corticosteroid. Bullous keratopathy was detected 18 days before. He had had poorly controlled diabetes mellitus since 20 years before. His visual acuity was 1.0 right and light perception left. His left cornea showed an ulcer with descemetocele in its center. His left eye showed hyperemia and profuse discharge.Corynebacterium sp. was isolated from the discharge. It was sensitive to penicillin,cefems,tetracycline and chloramphenicol. It was resistant to quinolones,aminoglycosides,macrolides,lincomycin and fosfomycin. Topical tetracycline and intravenous cefems induced prompt improvement of corneal ulcer and cicatricial healing 3months later. The corneal ulcer seems to have occurred due to poorly controlled diabetes mellitus,prolonged use of antibiotics and corticosteroid,and compromised corneal surface by bullous keratopathy.
