A possible complication of LASIK surgery is infectious keratitis which can lead to disastrous corneal damage and result in permanent loss of vision. LASIK procedures have become increasingly accessible, and the demand for refractive surgery has risen among patients, challenging the medical field to improve the prevention of post-operative infections. Nevertheless, a wide range of pathogens have been described as responsible for post-LASIK keratitis. However, non-tuberculous mycobacterial keratitis remains an infrequent occurrence and is poorly described in the literature. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first ever reported case of post-LASIK keratitis caused by <jats:italic>Mycobacterium wolinskyi.<\/jats:italic> We describe the clinical and microbial characteristics, leading to its challenging treatment choice.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1186\/s12348-024-00438-6","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,10,16]],"date-time":"2024-10-16T03:41:40Z","timestamp":1729050100000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["First report of uncommon mycobacteria in post LASIK keratitis: Mycobacterium wolinskyi"],"prefix":"10.1186","volume":"14","author":[{"given":"S\u00e9bastien","family":"van Delden","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"H\u00e9l\u00e8ne","family":"Buvelot","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4756-8715","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Giorgio Enrico","family":"Bravetti","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0284-7080","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Truong-Thanh","family":"Pham","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Gabriele","family":"Thumann","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Horace","family":"Massa","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,10,16]]},"reference":[{"key":"438_CR1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3238\/arztebl.2008.0163","author":"T Kohnen","year":"2008","unstructured":"Kohnen T, Strenger A, Klaproth OK (2008) Basic knowledge of refractive surgery.
