Abstract
Surgically induced necrotizing scleritis is a rare immunologic reaction after strabismus surgery in the immediate postoperative period. The authors present a case of surgically induced necrotizing scleritis with
Streptococcus pneumoniae
growth 5 days after combined strabismus and cataract surgery that did not respond to antibiotics but did respond to systemic steroids. Prompt diagnosis prevents vision loss.
