To describe 3 cases of culture-positive P. aeruginosa keratitis, who presented with a focus having serrated margins.
Observational case report.
Three cases wearing contact lenses complained of symptoms such as pain, redness, and a decrease in vision. Slit-lamp biomicroscopic examination revealed a focus with serrated margins in all cases. The patients underwent corneal scraping for cultures, which confirmed the presence of P. aeruginosa. All 3 patients were treated with a combination of fluoroquinolone and tobramycin, 6-8 times per day. Corneal defects and infiltration disappeared within 2 weeks after initiating the therapy.
Serrated margins may also be a characteristic initial presentation of P. aeruginosa keratitis.
描述3例培养阳性的铜绿假单胞菌角膜炎病例,这些病例表现为具有锯齿状边缘的病灶。
观察性病例报告。
3例佩戴隐形眼镜的患者主诉有疼痛、眼红和视力下降等症状。裂隙灯生物显微镜检查显示所有病例均有锯齿状边缘的病灶。患者接受角膜刮片培养,证实存在铜绿假单胞菌。所有3例患者均接受氟喹诺酮和妥布霉素联合治疗,每天6 - 8次。开始治疗后2周内角膜缺损和浸润消失。
锯齿状边缘也可能是铜绿假单胞菌角膜炎的特征性初始表现。
