[Pyocyanic corneal abscess]
Bulletin Des Societes D'Ophtalmologie De France
|June 1, 1990
Abstract:
The authors report 3 different cases of pseudomonas abscess of the corneal layers: these occurred; one on a soft lens; the second one apparently without any reason; the last one 2 days after a corneal traumatism. In spite of rapidly administrated antibiotherapy, the abscess spread very rapidly and left a residual corneal macula.
Insights
Pseudomonas aeruginosa corneal abscesses can rapidly spread despite prompt antibiotic treatment, leading to vision impairment. These infections occurred in diverse scenarios, including soft contact lens wear and corneal trauma.
