Corneal Graft Rejection Complicated by Paracoccus yeei Infection in a Patient Who Had Undergone a Penetrating Keratoplasty

摘要

A 68-year-old man who had undergone two penetrating keratoplasties of his left eye was admitted with early corneal graft failure. Culture of the anterior chamber fluid yielded Paracoccus yeei, a nonfermentative Gram-negative bacillus which thus far had only been implicated in ocular disease by means of PCR and 16S rRNA gene sequencing directly on patient material.
