Corneal Deposits: A Presentation of Arthrobacter Keratitis
Abstract: Introduction: Infectious keratitis, an inflammatory condition of the cornea, poses a significant public health concern globally. Bacterial keratitis, the most common type, primarily involves Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Timely diagnosis and treatment are crucial to prevent vision loss. Case Presentation: This case report presents a 78-year-old male patient with a burning sensation persisting for 1 week. The patient was diagnosed with keratitis caused by Arthrobacter, a Gram-positive coccobacillus commonly found in the environment. While the literature reports a few cases of Arthrobacter species keratitis, limited data exist regarding its clinical course and outcomes. Treatment with ciprofloxacin eye drops resulted in complete resolution of symptoms and a clear cornea upon final follow-up. Conclusion: Arthrobacter, a rare causative agent of keratitis, requires early suspicion for accurate diagnosis and treatment. Despite the limited literature on Arthrobacter keratitis, this case highlights the importance of considering uncommon pathogens in corneal infections. Further research is necessary to understand the prevalence and clinical course of Arthrobacter keratitis.
