Early vitrectomy to reverse macular dragging in a one-month-old boy with familial exudative vitreoretinopathy.

Purpose: Vitrectomy is usually only indicated for familial exudative vitreoretinopathy (FEVR) cases with progressive retinal folds or macular dragging. In this report, we present our experience reversing the progression of macular dragging by performing early eye vitrectomies in a 1-month-old male baby with FEVR.

Observations: A 7-day-old, full-term male baby was examined by a pediatric ophthalmologist.

A super-infection in the cornea caused by Stemphylium, Acremonium, and α-Streptococcus.

Background: Polymicrobial keratitis with fungus and bacteria can lead to blindness and is challenging to treat. Here, we introduce a case of fungal keratitis caused by two different strains in addition to definite bacterial super-infection caused by an α-Streptococcus sp., and describe the importance of microscopic examination.
