Clinical Characteristics and Bacteriological Profile of Moraxella Keratitis

Abstract

In Japan, Moraxella keratitis occurs in patients with contact lens wear, trauma, and diabetes mellitus. It presents as a small, round, ring-shaped, irregularly shaped, or amoebic-shaped focus. Moraxella species exhibit good susceptibility to fluoroquinolones and aminoglycosides. Because the treatment response may be very slow, these agents should be continued for a long period of time.
