Aeromonas hydrophila corneal ulcer.
Two healthy men developed acute corneal ulcers caused by Aeromonas hydrophila after receiving traumatic foreign body injuries to the cornea. The ulcers resolved after treatment for gram-negative bacterial corneal ulceration. A history of contamination by water, soil, or material from an aquatic source was a significant factor in each case.
