Cited in Scopus: 0Giant cell arteritis (GCA) is a medium-to-large vessel vasculitis that usually presents with headache, loss of vision, jaw claudication, and scalp tenderness. We report a case of biopsy-consistent GCA presenting as an infectious bacterial keratitis. To our knowledge, this is the first such case reported in the English-language ophthalmic literature.
