摘要：

Although Streptococcus pneumoniae is usually extremely sensitive to penicillin, recent reports in the nonophthalmic literature indicate a rise in the prevalence of penicillin-resistant pneumococci. We report a case of penicillin-resistant S. pneumoniae keratitis in a 51-year-old woman with severe rheumatoid arthritis. This report is only the second such case in the ophthalmic literature and may indicate the emergence of penicillin-resistant strains of S. pneumoniae as ocular pathogens.
