This study details a rare case of ulcerative keratitis caused by Eikenella corrodens, an opportunistic pathogen. This finding highlights a new bacterial cause of keratitis, emphasizing the need for broader diagnostic considerations.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Microbiology
  • Infectious Diseases

Background:

  • Eikenella corrodens is a Gram-negative facultative anaerobe.
  • It is a commensal organism in the human oropharyngeal flora.
  • It can act as an opportunistic pathogen affecting mucous membranes.

Observation:

  • A case of secondary ulcerative keratitis with hypopyon is presented.
  • The patient was a 39-year-old male.
  • The patient had a history of herpes simplex keratitis.

Findings:

  • Eikenella corrodens was identified as the causative agent of ulcerative keratitis.
  • This represents the first reported instance of Eikenella corrodens causing bacterial keratitis.
  • The infection occurred secondary to herpes simplex keratitis.

Implications:

  • This case expands the spectrum of pathogens implicated in bacterial keratitis.
  • It underscores the potential for Eikenella corrodens to cause severe ocular infections.
  • Clinicians should consider Eikenella corrodens in the differential diagnosis of microbial keratitis, especially in patients with predisposing factors.
