Bacterial Corneal Ulcers in Cosmetic Soft Contact Lens Wearers

Stenotrophomonas Maltophilia Infection in Patients Receiving Continuous Ambulatory Peritoneal Dialysis

“…The majority of the patients with S. maltophilia bacteremia had a central venous catheter 7 ) and S. maltophilia endocarditis has been noted as a complication of prosthetic valve surgery 12 , 15 ) . Conjunctivitis and corneal ulcers in contact lens wearers have been described in S. maltophilia cases 16 , 17 ) . Skin and soft tissue infections have frequently been noted at tracheostomies, suprapubic and vascular catheter sites 12 , 18 ) .…”

Pseudomonas Keratitis and Extended-Wear Soft Contact Lenses

“…Those who sometimes wore their DWSCLs overnight had nine times as great a risk of ulcerative keratitis as us¬ ers of DWSCLs who did not wear their lenses overnight. 3. The risk of developing ulcerative keratitis for each group increased proportionally with the number of days the lenses were worn overnight, beginning with the first night of overnight use.…”

Microbiological and Clinical Aspects of Infection Associated with Stenotrophomonas maltophilia

“…A variety of ophthalmologic syndromes have been reported, including conjunctivitis, keratitis, dacryocystitis, and preseptal cellulitis (28,331,373,386,390,401). Conjunctivitis, keratitis, and corneal ulcers in contact lens wearers from whom the bacterium has been isolated have also been described (237,331,393). Chen et al 68reported a case of endophthalmitis following the implantation of a sustained-release preparation of ganciclovir.…”
