Corneal Ulcer Caused by Nocardia asteroides in a Patient with Leprosy

Volume 36, no. 4, p. 1154–1156, 1998. We inadvertently failed to cite the following previously published report: M. Shrinivasan and S. Sharma. 1987. Nocardia asteroides as a cause of corneal ulcer. Arch. Ophthalmol. 105:464. It appears that ours was not the first reported case of nocardial keratitis in Southeast Asia. However, neither in the reports cited in our article nor in the article by Shrinivasan and Sharma cited above was leprosy a probable predisposing factor.
