| Abstract |
|
Stenotrophomonas maltophilia keratitis is rare and none of it has been reported to be combined with Aspergillus keratitis.I have experienced a corneal ulcer caused by combined infection of S.maltophilia and A. fumigatus.S. maltophilia was grown on culture and a brownish pigmented anterior chamber mass containing filamentous fungi was attached to corneal ulcer area endothelium without the usual filamentous fungal keratitis findings such as feathery edge, satellite lesions, endothelial plaques, etc. A spergillusfumigatus was grown on culture of abscess which developed along the superior incision for removal of anterior chamber mass. |
