L M Cobo, D J Coster, J Peacock

    The British Journal of Ophthalmology
    |October 1, 1981
    PubMed
    Summary

    Moraxella keratitis can affect healthy individuals, not just the debilitated. Chronic corneal epithelial disturbance is a key factor in developing this Moraxella nonliquifaciens infection.

    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Microbiology

    Background:

    • Moraxella keratitis is typically associated with debilitated patients, especially elderly alcoholics.
    • This view may be incomplete, potentially overlooking other patient demographics.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To review features of Moraxella nonliquifaciens keratitis in diverse patient groups.
    • To investigate the role of corneal epithelial disturbance in pathogenesis.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective review of 8 patients with Moraxella nonliquifaciens keratitis.
    • Analysis of clinical features, patient history, and outcomes.

    Main Results:

    • Identified cases in both young and old patients in good general health.
    • Chronic corneal epithelial disturbance was a common finding across all patients.

    Conclusions:

    • Moraxella keratitis can occur in individuals without systemic debilitation.
    • Localised corneal epithelial disturbance is a significant factor in Moraxella keratitis development.
