摘要：Purpose We report a case of infectious keratitis caused by Eikenella corrodens in a patient who lost visual function. Case summary A 65-year-old male with histories of a corneal ulcer, glaucoma, and bullous keratopathy visited our hospital complaining of redness and pain in his right eye for the past 10 days. Slit-lamp examination revealed stromal infiltration, a 2-mm-high hypopyon, and severe inflammation of the anterior chamber. Vitreous opacity was evident on ocular ultrasonography. Culture of corneal scrapings yielded Eikenella corrodens . After 5 days of antibiotic treatment, ceftazidime was injected intravitreally and histoacryl glue applied to treat the corneal perforation and the endophthalmitis. Two months later, the eye was not inflamed. Conclusions Eikenella corrodens should be considered a possible pathogen when a patient with an underlying ocular disease presents with infectious keratitis. A corneal ulcer caused by Eikenella corrodens has not previously been reported in the Republic of Korea.
