Pseudomonas aeruginosa keratitis treated with ticarcillin and tobramycin.

Abstract

A corneal ulcer, infected with Pseudomonas aeruginosa and complicated by conjunctivitis and endophthalmitis, was treated successfully with systemic administration of ticarcillin and topical application of tobramycin. It is unlikely that carbenicillin, to which the organism was much less sensitive, would have attained sufficient tissue levels to control the infection.
