  • Title: Mycobacterium chelonei keratitis: a case report.
    Author: Mirate DJ, Hull DS, Steel JH, Carter MJ.
    Journal: Br J Ophthalmol; 1983 May; 67(5):324-6. PubMed ID: 6838806.
    Abstract:
    The case is reported of a patient who initially presented with a dendritiform corneal ulcer that ultimately failed to heal and in which Mycobacterium chelonei was repeatedly cultured. The organism was sensitive only to kanamycin and amikacin; however, topical administration of these antibiotics failed to achieve a complete cure. Penetrating keratoplasty was ultimately required to eradicate the organism from the cornea.
