Severe anaphylactic reaction after indocyanine green fluorescence angiography.

patient was followed up for one month, at which time she developed an unrelated smallbowel infarction and subsequently died. Infection of a scierai buckle with Moraxella species is unusual. The patient had no history or evidence of angular blepharitis, a condition typically associated with ocular Moraxella in­ fections. Moraxella catarrhalis grows well on either blood or chocolate agar, is typically resis­ tant to penicillin, and is sensitive to aminoglycosides. Our case reinforces the value of cul­ tures in scleral-buckle infections to identify the organism and subsequent treatment with ap­ propriate antibiotics.
