    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Suppurative keratitis, an eye infection, can be caused by Branhamella catarrhalis. This bacterial infection, often presenting as a stromal infiltrate in scarred corneas, effectively treated with penicillin G and gentamicin.

    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Microbiology

    Background:

    • Suppurative keratitis is a severe corneal infection that can lead to vision loss.
    • Branhamella catarrhalis, a bacterium, is an uncommon but potential cause of ocular infections.

    Observation:

    • Three cases of suppurative keratitis caused by Branhamella catarrhalis were identified.
    • All patients presented with a localized stromal infiltrate.
    • The keratitis occurred in corneas with pre-existing scarring.

    Findings:

    • Branhamella catarrhalis was confirmed as the causative agent in all three cases.
    • The clinical presentation involved a localized stromal infiltrate.
    • The affected corneas had prior scarring.

    Implications:

    • Branhamella catarrhalis should be considered in the differential diagnosis of suppurative keratitis, especially in patients with scarred corneas.
    • Prompt diagnosis and treatment are crucial to prevent vision impairment.
    • Penicillin G and gentamicin demonstrate efficacy in treating Branhamella catarrhalis-induced keratitis.
