• Infectious scleritis can be viral, bacterial, fungal, and parasitic.
• Pyogenic infections of the sclera are often difficult to manage and eradicate because of the poor antimicrobial penetration into the avascular necrotic sclera, but improved success has been achieved with surgical intervention in addition to antimicrobial therapy, or a combination of parenteral antimicrobials.
• A case report of Sporothrix schenckii scleritis following trauma with a wood chip failed to respond to topical miconazole and topical amphotericin as well as intravenous amphotericin but had a good response to saturated solution of potassium iodide 10–24 drops orally three times a day for 10 days.
• Once the sclera is invaded, the infection is extremely difficult to eradicate.
