title: Mycobacterium chelonaein a tectonic corneal graft.
abstract: Atypical mycobacterial infections of the cornea can present with nonspecific inflammatory changes and graft rejection, with no obvious focus to culture and a subsequent delay to diagnosis. These pathogens are well documented in the literature following laser-assistedin situkeratomileusis but have rarely been described following corneal transplant surgery. We report a single case ofMycobacterium chelonaekeratitis 1 year after tectonic keratoplasty.
