Abstract
- Pseudomonas aeruginosa is the most common and the most severe Gram-negative corneal pathogen. Pseudomonas keratitis often arises from the use of a contaminated fluorescein solution or from contaminated medications used either to examine or to treat a corneal abrasion or injury. Pseudomonas keratitis is an acute rapidly progressive corneal ulcer with greenish pus and hypopyon. A 49 year old Korean woman was found to have pseudomonas keratitis whose clinical features. were different from the classic pattern of pseudomonas keratitis.
