Levofloxacin susceptibility of Staphylococci from conjunctiva in patients with atopic dermatitis.

Purpose: The ocular surface in patients with atopic dermatitis (AD) is known to harbor an abundance of gram-positive cocci, particularly Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus). This study reviewed the results of microbial cultures from the conjunctiva in AD patients, with special attention to the levofloxacin susceptibility of Staphylococci.

Fulminant Marginal Keratitis Induced by Atezolizumab, a Programmed Death Ligand 1 Inhibitor for Lung Cancer.

Introduction: With the increasing use of immune checkpoint inhibitors, ocular adverse events have gained attention. We describe a case of atypical keratitis presumably induced by atezolizumab, a programmed cell death ligand 1 inhibitor.

Case Presentation: A 73-year-old Japanese woman developed ring-shaped marginal infiltrations with epithelial breakdown of the corneas in both eyes.

Ocular Manifestations of Peters Plus-Like Syndrome in 8q21.11 Microdeletion Syndrome.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to report a case of Peters plus-like syndrome, which revealed to have an 8q21.11 microdeletion by copy number variation analysis using exome data.

Methods: A 6-month-old Japanese boy presented with bilateral corneal opacity since birth.

[Efficacy of Ultra-wide Angle Fundus Imaging without Dilated Pupils in Annual Health Check-up Examination].

Purpose: To evaluate efficacy of ultra-wide angle fundus imaging without mydriasis for health screening.

Method: The judgment rate and the detection rate of ocular diseases in 1160 eyes of 580 patients (Optos group) who underwent ophthalmic screening with Optos 200Tx ultra-wide field scanning laser ophthalmoscope without mydriasis from May 2013 to April 2014 were compared with those of 774 eyes of 387 patients who underwent ophthalmic screening with mydriasis (Mydriasis group).

Results: The judgment could be made in 1156 eyes (99.

MACULAR DETACHMENT ASSOCIATED WITH INTRACHOROIDAL CAVITATION IN NONPATHOLOGICAL MYOPIC EYES.

Purpose: To report the characteristics of a macular detachment associated with peripapillary intrachoroidal cavitation (ICC) and the outcomes of vitrectomy.

Methods: The medical records of 69 eyes of 61 patients who underwent vitrectomy for macular detachment or macular retinoschisis but without vitreomacular traction or optic disc pit were reviewed. Optical coherence tomography was used to determine the morphology of the ICC.
