Abstract:
Recurrent post-cataract endophthalmitis is a well-recognized postoperative complication that has been attributed to various organisms and different mechanisms. To our knowledge, there is no case of recurrent postoperative endophthalmitis reported where the organism was found to be sequestered in the posterior capsule, escaping total eradication and thus producing the recurrence. The following is a case report of such recurrent postoperative endophthalmitis caused by Enterococcus faecalis sequestered in the posterior capsule.
