title: A case of amniotic membrane transplantation in non-healing Nocardia asteroides keratitis.
abstract: A patient with severe non-healing microscopically proven Nocardia keratitis was treated with maximal topical amikacin followed by amniotic membrane transplantation (AMT) 2 months later (single-layer epithelial side-down). Epithelial healing was achieved, but neovascularization continued. This case report indicates that AMT combined with topical antibiotic provides pain relief and allows epithelial healing in severe Nocardia keratitis.
