Case report: We present a 46-year-old man diagnosed initially with atypical adenoviral conjunctivitis and advanced marginal queratolysis with risk of perforation. The final diagnosis was gonococcal keratoconjunctivitis. The patient was successfully treated with amniotic membrane transplant, topic and systemic ceftriaxone (50 mg/ml and 1 grame/12 hours intravenous). Discussion: Gonorrhea must be suspected in cases of torpid evolution conjunctivitis.

Palabras clave : Gonococcal infection; queratoconjunctivitis; queratolisis; amniotic membrane; ceftriaxone.
