Ophthalmic Manifestation of Tsukamurella Species: A Case Series and First Report of Ocular Implant Infection After Enucleation

Conclusions: Tsukamurella tyrosinosolvens and Tsukamurella pulmonis were found to be the predominant species that caused ocular infection. Ocular manifestation of Tsukamurella has a wider spectrum than that previously reported. A high-level of suspicion and a low threshold for microbiological sampling in cases with prolonged ocular surface infection are recommended to diagnose Tsukamurella infections.
