We report a patient with risk factors for both microbial keratitis and endophthalmitis, which were initially challenging to distinguish. Cultures of corneal scrapings yielded several organisms, including an uncultivable Gram-negative rod, eventually identified as . is so named because most strains have been isolated in the Negev, a desert region of southern Israel. The epidemiology of remains incompletely understood. We found no other reports in the literature of this organism causing microbial keratitis.
我们报告了一位具有微生物性角膜炎和眼内炎双重危险因素的患者,最初难以区分这两种疾病。角膜刮片培养出多种病原体,包括一种无法培养的革兰氏阴性杆菌,最终鉴定为 。之所以这样命名,是因为大多数菌株都分离自以色列南部的内盖夫沙漠地区。 的流行病学仍不完全清楚。我们在文献中没有发现其他关于这种病原体引起微生物性角膜炎的报道。
