| Abstract | Background Staphylococcus-associated marginal keratitis is an immune-mediated corneal disorder mainly secondary to chronic blepharoconjunctivitis. We report a rare case of Staphylococcus-associated marginal keratitis following pterygium excision. To the best of our knowledge, none of the previous literature has described such an acute complication after pterygium surgery. Case presentation We report a case of a 50-year-old woman who suffered from pterygium in the left eye and underwent pterygium surgery. After surgery, slit-lamp examination showed an incomplete ring-shaped creamy white infiltrate. Corneal pathogenic microbial detection was negative. Staphylococcus aureus was found on the upper eyelid margin of the affected eye. Therefore, she was clinically diagnosed with Staphylococcus-associated marginal keratitis. The infiltrate was gradually absorbed after steroids, topical antibiotics, and lubricant eye drops were administered. After 2 years of follow-up, neither corneal infiltrate nor pterygium recurrence was observed. Conclusion Staphylococcus-associated marginal keratitis is an immune reaction mainly secondary to chronic blepharoconjunctivitis, which usually activates an antigen-antibody reaction with complementary activation and neutrophil infiltration in patients sensitized to staphylococcal antigens. Early detection and treatment is of great importance. Topical steroids are effective and should be initiated early once pathogenic microbial infections are excluded. Although chronic staphylococcal blepharoconjunctivitis is a common disease, ophthalmologists should pay more attention to it to avoid potential complications. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
