Corneal graft rejection complicated by Paracoccus yeei infection in a patient who had undergone a penetrating keratoplasty.

ABSTRACT: A 68-year-old man who had undergone two penetrating keratoplasties of his left eye was admitted with early corneal graft failure. Culture of the anterior chamber fluid yielded Paracoccus yeei, a nonfermentative gram-negative bacillus which thus far had only been implicated in ocular disease by means of PCR and 16S rRNA gene sequencing directly on patient material.
