Introduction: Although there is evidence for distinct behavioural sub-phenotypes in Alzheimer's disease (AD), their inter-relationships and the effect of clinical variables on their expression have been little investigated.

Iron-5,10,15,20-tetraphenylporphyrin (FeTPP) has been incorporated into films of a coordinating hydrogel polymer support medium, poly(gamma-ethyl-L-glutamate) (PEG) functionalised with imidazole pendant arms (PEG-Im), and studied in situ on silver electrodes using a combination of both resonance Raman (RR) and surface-enhanced resonance Raman (SERR) spectroscopy. The SERR spectra give information on the portion of the film close to the electrode surface while RR spectra probe the

PURPOSE:
The purpose of this study was to report on Tsukamurella as a mimic of atypical mycobacterial infection.
METHODS:
We report a patient who had received repeated corneal grafts with culture-proven Tsukamurella keratitis.
RESULTS:
A slow-progressing corneal abscess that initially developed adjacent to a corneal stitch responded poorly to empiric antibiotic treatment. A preliminary culture report revealed fast-growing mycobacterial species. Treatment adjustments successfully controlled the disease. A final diagnosis of Tsukamurella was subsequently made on the basis of cultures.
CONCLUSIONS:
Tsukamurella exhibits laboratory similarities to mycobacteria and should be considered in the differential of atypical infection of the ocular surface.
