(A) The eye at the time of referral with the corneal infiltrate and associated hypopyon. (B) After 5 weeks of therapy with topical imipenem the epithelial defect had healed, the infiltrate resolved, and the neovascularisation had largely regressed. (C) and (D) The acid fast modified Ziehl-Neelsen staining response. Together with a weaker silver methenamine reaction this made a diagnosis of nocardial keratitis highly likely and Rhodococcus was confirmed serologically (C × 235; D, × 590).
