Bacterial keratitis is a serious, potentially sight-threatening complication in neglected cases of corneal trauma. Few bacteria and fungi are implicated in the pathogenesis of bacterial keratitis after trauma; however, keratitis by an opportunistic organism is rare. We report here a case of keratitis caused by Corynebacterium jeikeium (C. jeikeium) after accidental trauma with rice grains. The patient presented to us with chronic keratitis, which responded to 5% fortified vancomycin eye drops after microbiological investigation and drug sensitivity.
细菌性角膜炎是角膜外伤未得到妥善处理时出现的一种严重且可能威胁视力的并发症。在创伤后细菌性角膜炎的发病机制中，涉及的细菌和真菌种类较少；然而，由机会性致病菌引起的角膜炎较为罕见。我们在此报告一例因稻谷意外外伤后发生的杰氏棒状杆菌（C. jeikeium）性角膜炎病例。该患者因慢性角膜炎前来就诊，经微生物学检查和药敏试验后，使用5%强化万古霉素滴眼液治疗有效。
