We describe the case of a 52-year-old woman with scleritis caused by an imipenem-resistant strain of . The patient presented with pain, redness, and nodules on the sclera of 8 weeks' duration. A Gram stain from a nodule on the superonasal aspect of the globe was initially negative. After empiric treatment for an autoimmune etiology, cytopathology confirmed filamentous bacteria. A presumptive diagnosis of scleritis was made, and medical management was based on a literature review on treatments for infections. Cultures returned confirming . Antibiotic sensitivity testing confirmed the correct initial management. The patient's scleritis resolved with a good visual outcome.
我们描述了一例由耐亚胺培南菌株引起巩膜炎的52岁女性病例。患者出现疼痛、眼红及巩膜结节,持续8周。最初,取自眼球鼻上侧一个结节的革兰氏染色呈阴性。在针对自身免疫病因进行经验性治疗后,细胞病理学检查证实为丝状细菌。作出了假单胞菌性巩膜炎的初步诊断,药物治疗基于对假单胞菌感染治疗的文献综述。培养结果回报证实为假单胞菌。抗生素敏感性试验证实了最初的正确治疗。患者的巩膜炎得以缓解,视力预后良好。
