Resumen en ingles
Corneal disease remains the leading cause of monocular blindness worldwide, especially affecting marginalized populations. Corneal opacities, which are largely
caused by infectious keratitis, are the fourth leading
cause of blindness globally and responsible for 10% of
avoidable visual impairment in the world’s least developed countries(
¹)
. Herein, we report a case of aggressive
infectious keratitis caused by Pseudomonas aeruginosa
in an otherwise healthy 2-month-old infant with no
previous risk factors of ocular infections, which led to
corneal transplant.
