Management of acute bacterial keratitis: Fortified antibiotics or fluoroquinolones?

Abstract

Bacterial keratitis (BK) is one of the most frequent causes for emergency hospital admissions.1 Identifying the causative microorganism promptly and properly is mandatory to achieve acceptable outcomes. Nevertheless, appropriate initial management of these cases requires laboratory-based diagnosis and even a modest laboratory set may not always be available at some clinical settings.
