Abstract

Background: Corneal ulcer is a pathologic corneal condition characterized by suppurative infiltrates with indolent corneal defects and corneal tissue discontinuities that can occur from epithelium to stroma. Corneal ulcers can occur as a result of trauma by a foreign body or a disease that causes the entry of bacteria or fungi into the cornea, causing infection or inflammation. Aims: to report a case of corneal ulcer caused by bacterial infection, and review the patient's management and clinical progress. Case presentation: Two cases of corneal ulcers were presented with different bacterial causes. The first case is a man aged 54 years with a history of trauma on the corneal epithelium, the corneal ulcer is then known to be caused by gram-positive germs. Visual repair and healing without sicatrics were achieved after 1 week of treatment. In the second case, a 52-year-old woman with type 2 diabetes mellitus, a corneal ulcer was caused by a highly virulent gram-negative germ, and corneal perforation was found after 2 weeks. Complications of corneal ulcers can result in blindness, so proper microbiological examination and therapy are very important. Conclusion: Bacterial corneal ulcers are an ophthalmologic emergency requiring prompt
