Abstract
Nocardia species are obligate aerobic, partially acid-fast, gram-positive bacilli, leading to ophthalmological complications. Because of infrequent presentation and variable clinical pictures of Nocardia corneal ulcers are easily misdiagnosed. We present here an ophthalmological and microbiological tied-in case of a 45-year-old male patient with Nocardial keratitis from Lahore, Punjab, Pakistan. A 45-year-old male patient presented with a corneal ulcer in the right eye, complaining of orbital pain, photophobia, and visual impairment. Based on microbiological findings suggesting Nocardia spp. growth, the patient was treated with Amikacin. Following this, the corneal ulcer was completely recovered.
