    Abstract:
    Bacillus cereus is a gram-positive, rod-shaped, beta hemolytic bacterium which rarely causes eye infections. We present a case of 15 year old boy with unilateral keratitis. He was treated for two months by his ophthalmologist who suspected herpetic keratitis. Patient most probably suffered secondary infection by Bacillus cereus. After bacillus was identified and targeted treatment given clinical picture improved rapidly. Until now there are only few cases of bacillus cereus keratitis published.
