    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Infectious Diseases
    • Microbiology

    Background:

    • Bacterial keratitis is an infection of the cornea, a serious condition that can lead to vision loss.
    • Capnocytophaga are capnophilic Gram-negative bacilli, meaning they require an environment with increased carbon dioxide concentration to grow.

    Observation:

    • This report details two distinct cases of bacterial keratitis.
    • The causative agent identified in both cases was the bacterium Capnocytophaga.

    Findings:

    • Both patients with Capnocytophaga keratitis demonstrated a positive response to treatment.
    • Treatment involved the administration of clindamycin, both topically and subconjunctivally.

    Implications:

    • These findings suggest that clindamycin is an effective therapeutic option for bacterial keratitis caused by Capnocytophaga.
  • This information is crucial for ophthalmologists and infectious disease specialists managing corneal infections.
