Abstract
- The authors have experienced a case of gonococcal conjunctivitis in 19 year-old male, who showed bilateral lid edema and copious yellowish conjunctival discharge which progress rapidly for four days. A stain of the conjunctival exudate appeared gram-negative intraCellular diplococci. This patient was treated with topical and systemic antibiotics for 7 days and topical antibiotics and corticosteroids for 12 days, with almost complete resolution. Involvement of corneal epithelium and residual punctate corneal opacity were remained slightly.
