    A severe Bacillus cereus (B. cereus) infection caused endophthalmitis in a young man after eye trauma. Despite prompt antibiotic treatment, the eye was lost, highlighting B. cereus

    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Infectious Diseases
    • Microbiology

    Background:

    • Endophthalmitis is a serious intraocular infection.
    • Traumatic eye injuries can introduce microorganisms.
    • Bacillus cereus is a known pathogen.

    Observation:

    • A young male patient presented with severe endophthalmitis.
    • The condition followed trauma involving an intraocular foreign body.
    • Rapidly developing corneal ring abscess was noted.

    Findings:

    • Bacillus cereus was isolated from the aqueous humor within 18 hours.
    • Despite early antibiotic therapy, the eye lost all function.
    • Enucleation was necessary due to intractable pain.
