title: Chryseobacterium meningosepticum keratitis.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To describe a case of a corneal ulcer caused by Chryseobacterium meningosepticum in an eye without significant comorbidities.
  
  
  METHODS
  Interventional case report.
  
  
  METHODS
  Retrospective case review.
  
  
  RESULTS
  A 48-year-old man presented with a corneal ulcer in his right eye and was treated with ofloxacin and fortified bacitracin ophthalmic solution. Cultures grew C. meningosepticum, and the infection resolved. Two previous case reports in the literature have described ocular infections with this bacterium, both in postoperative patients with significant ocular comorbidities.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  This is the first report of ocular infection with C. meningosepticum in an eye with no significant comorbidities.
