At the first visit, slit-lamp microscopy revealed a white abscess and infiltration in the inferior cornea of the right eye (fig. 1a). Although the corneal endothelial cell densities before and after medication were 2,193 and 813 cells/mm2, respectively, both the endothelial graft and the recipient cornea were thin and clear (fig. 1b).

Examination of a cross-section of the infected cornea on anterior-segment optical coherence tomography suggested that the abscess was located only in the recipient cornea (fig. 2).
