    Author: Laflamme MY, Poisson M, Chéhadé N.
    Journal: Can J Ophthalmol; 1987 Apr; 22(3):178-80. PubMed ID: 3297268.
    Abstract:
    Atypical mycobacteria are responsible for an increasing number of skin and soft-tissue infections. We present a case of Mycobacterium chelonei keratitis that developed 3 months after penetrating keratoplasty. Our case illustrates how early diagnosis of M. chelonei keratitis and aggressive therapy with appropriate antibiotics can lead to a complete cure, with excellent functional results.
