Abstract. A 65-year-old woman was referred to us for necrotizing scleritis in her right eye since 10 days before. The affected eye had received surgery for pterygium 20 years before. There was no history of autoimmune disease including rheumatic arthritis. Her corrected visual acuity was 20/20. The affected eye showed scleral thinning nasal to the cornea,conjunctival and ciliary injections,and inflammation in the anterior chamber. The scleral lesion expanded after systemic prednisolone at the initial daily dosis of 120mg. Pseudomonas aeruginosa was isolated from cultured eye discharge. She was given topical corticosteroid,intravenous ciprofloxacin hydrochloride,tobramycin and fosfomysin. The scleral lesion ceased to expand and was gradually covered by conjunctiva. After 13 months,the inflammation had subsided with the visual acuity of 18/20. This case illustrates that unilateral necrotizing scleritis may be caused by Pseudomonas aeruginosa.
