    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Microbiology

    Background:

    • Central corneal ulcers can have various etiologies, including bacterial infections.
    • Prompt diagnosis and treatment are crucial for preserving vision.

    Observation:

    • A 10-year-old female presented with a central corneal ulcer.
    • No specific clinical indicators were noted to identify the causative agent initially.

    Findings:

    • The corneal ulcer was attributed to an anaerobic streptococcus infection.
    • The patient's condition resolved effectively with appropriate antibiotic therapy.

    Implications:

    • This case highlights anaerobic streptococcus as a potential pathogen in pediatric corneal ulcers.
    • Effective antibiotic management can lead to favorable outcomes in such cases.
