Here, we report a novel case of corneal ulcer in a 72-year-old patient with diabetes caused by This organism should not be ignored as a harmless commensal whenever it is isolated in pure form in repeat cultures of the specimen along with a leucocyte reaction in direct microscopic examination. Moreover, this organism is multidrug-resistant, so species identification of diphtheroids is important to start appropriate antibiotic therapy. There are very few published reports of ocular infection and none of corneal ulcer by this organism.
这里,我们报告一例 72 岁糖尿病患者的角膜溃疡,由 引起。当这种生物体在直接显微镜检查中与白细胞反应一起在标本的重复培养中以纯培养形式分离出来时,不应将其视为无害共生体而忽略。此外,这种生物体具有多药耐药性,因此类白喉菌的种属鉴定对于开始适当的抗生素治疗很重要。有关该生物体引起的眼部感染,尤其是角膜溃疡的报道非常少。
