Abstract

We herein report a case of Leuconostoc mesenteroides scleral infection after trauma. A young male developed pain and redness following trauma to the right eye with a wooden stick. A mildly elevated scleral abscess was noted, which was surgically drained, and Leuconostoc mesenteroides were isolated. There was a favorable anatomical outcome after topical and oral antibiotics therapy guided by culture and sensitivity. Post-trauma scleral infection with Leuconostoc mesenteroides is a rare possibility, which can be managed with topical and oral antibiotics therapy with favorable outcomes.
