Bhupesh Bhatkoti, Raji Kurumkattil, Sudheer Verma, Sankalp Seth, Ravi Chauhan

A young male patient with febrile illness presented with acute onset pain and redness in right eye. Clinical picture was suggestive of infectious scleritis and culture from the scleral abscess showed growth of Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Patient showed good response to systemic and topical antibiotic with complete resolution of scleritis. This is the first documented culture positive infectious scleritis case in a dengue patient and the favorable outcome emphasizes the need for early recognition and aggressive management in such cases.
