Transfer of bacterial infections by donor cornea in penetrating keratoplasty.
American Journal of Ophthalmology 1979 Februrary

His corneas were used for transplant in a 26-year-old man with advanced keratoconus and a 42-year-old man with vascularized central leukoma of old herpetic keratitis. Both recipients developed a fulminating endophthalmitis with Pseudomonas aeruginosa.
