Abstract

A 38-year-old male presented with pain and redness in his left eye. He had a history of wearing contact lenses. His ophthalmic examination revealed a large corneal ulcer with surrounding infiltrate. Cultures were isolated from the contact lenses, lens solutions, storage cases, and conjunctivae of both eyes and also corneal scrapings of the left eye. Fortified vancomycin and amikacin drops were started hourly. Culture results of conjunctivae of each eye and left cornea were positive for Pseudomonas aeruginosa; cultures from the contact lenses, lens solution and storage case of both eyes revealed Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Alcaligenes xylosoxidans. Polymerase chain reaction of the corneal scraping was positive for Acanthameoba. The topical antibiotics were changed with ones that both bacteria were sensitive to and anti-amoebic therapy was added. The patient had two recurrences following initial presentation despite intensive therapy. Keratitis occurred due to multiple pathogens; the relapsing course despite adequate therapy is potentially associated with this polymicrobial etiology

Özet

Otuz sekiz yaşında erkek hasta sol gözde ağrı ve kızarıklık şikayeti ile başvurdu. Kontakt lens kullanma öyküsü vardı. Oftalmik muayenede korneada geniş bir ülser ve etrafında infiltrat tespit edildi. Her iki gözün kontakt lenslerinden, lens solüsyonlarından, saklama kaplarından, konjonktivalarından kültür ve sol korneadan kazıntı alındı. Güçlendirilmiş vankomisin ve amikasin damla, saat başı damlatılacak şekilde başlandı. Her iki gözün konjonktiva ve sol kornea kültürlerinde Pseudomonas aeruginosa; kontakt lenslerin, lens solüsyonlarının ve saklama kaplarının kültürlerinde Pseudomonas aeruginosa ve Alcaligenes xylosoxidans üredi. Kornea kazıntısında Acanthameoba polimeraz zincir reaksiyonu pozitif bulundu. Topikal antibiyotikler her iki bakterinin de duyarlı oldukları ile değiştirildi ve anti-amip tedavi başlandı. Yoğun tedaviye rağmen hastalık ilk başvurudan sonra iki kez alevlendi. Keratiti çoklu patojene bağlı meydana gelmişti; uygun tedaviye rağmen tablonun şiddetli seyretmesi olasılıkla çoklu mikrobik etkene bağlıdır
