Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Microbiology

Background:

  • Ulcerative keratitis is an inflammatory condition of the cornea.
  • Corneal ulcers can lead to significant vision loss and perforation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present a case of ulcerative keratitis with central corneal perforation.
  • To discuss the management and referral of this specific patient case.

Main Methods:

  • Case report presentation.
  • Clinical examination of the left eye.
  • Microbiological culture of corneal ulcer exudate.

Main Results:

  • A large corneal ulcer with central perforation was identified.
  • Pseudomonas aeruginosa was confirmed as the causative pathogen.

Conclusions:

  • Prompt diagnosis and appropriate management are crucial for ulcerative keratitis.
  • Pseudomonas aeruginosa keratitis requires aggressive treatment to prevent vision loss.
