Corneal perforation due to Acinetobacter junii: a case report.

Acinetobacter spp. is emerging as a common cause of nosocomial infections. Community acquired ocular infections due to Acinetobacter are rare. Only one case of perforation of cornea has been reported previously, where old nomenclature was used to describe the causal agent. We report a case of corneal perforation due to Acinetobacter junii for which a therapeutic penetrating keratoplasty was conducted and the patient eventually recovered.
