Résumé
To describe a case of an indolent, chronic Curvularia infection after a ruptured globe injury from an intraocular metallic foreign body in a 38-year old male. Following globe repair and vitrectomy, the patient underwent a sutured scleral-fixated lens. The patient subsequently presented with recurrent painless conjunctival erosion associated with small, pigmented skip lesions of the exposed suture. Indolent, chronic Recurrent conjunctival erosion in cases of secondary sutured scleral fixated intraocular lenses should prompt evaluation for possible infectious etiology.
