Abstract
- PURPOSE
To report a case of Ochrobactrum anthropi endophthalmitis following cataract extraction and intraocular lens implantation. METHODS: A 57-year-old man was refered for evaluation and management of chronic uveitis on his left eye. He had undergone cataract surgery 1 year previously. His visual acuity of left eye was 20/100. The left eye had marked inflammation in anterior chamber and vitreous cavity. We performed pars plana vitrectomy with removal of the intraocular lens and intravitreal antibiotics injection (Amikacin 0.4 mg/0.1 ml). RESULTS: Microbiologic examination of the anterior chamber fluid, intraocular lens disclosed Ochrobactrum anthropi, a gram-negative bacillus. Twelve weeks after vitrectomy, his left corrected visual acuity was 20/25 and anterior segment showed no inflammatory cell.
