Abstract
(en) PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to report a rare case of posttrabeculectomy bleb-related infection associated with Corynebaterium macginleyi, a rare conjunctival pathogen. METHODS: Case description including clinical imaging and microbiology data, and literature review of Corynebacterium macginleyi-related infections. RESULTS: A 60-year-old glaucomatous female patient presented with a bleb-related infection 6 years after trabeculectomy in her right eye, suggestive of blebitis. No bleb-related endophthalmitis was reported. CONCLUSIONS: C. macginleyi is a rare conjunctival pathogen that can cause conjunctivitis and, rarely, bleb-related infections.
