Abstract

Two healthy men developed acute corneal ulcers caused by Aeromonas hydrophila after receiving traumatic foreign body injuries to the cornea. The ulcers resolved after treatment for gram-negative bacterial corneal ulceration. A history of contamination by water, soil, or material from an aquatic source was a significant factor in each case.
