Releasable suture-associated methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus corneal infiltrate at the exteriorized suture end following trabeculectomy: A case report

This is a case report of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) associated corneal suture infiltrate following trabeculectomy, which has rarely been reported. This report may provide new insights into the rising occurrence of MRSA-related infections and its management. In our case, the infection was centered around the exteriorized corneal end of the releasable suture, posing a potential risk for intraocular infection as it may serve as a conduit for bacteria to enter the eye. Prompt diagnosis followed by timely management can save the eye from this rare, sight-threatening complication.
