Propionibacterium acnes endophthalmitis seven months after extracapsular cataract extraction and intraocular lens
Ophthalmic Surgery
|December 1, 1986
Abstract:
We present a case of endophthalmitis caused by Propionibacterium acnes seven months following extracapsular cataract extraction and intraocular lens implantation. The markedly delayed clinical course of endophthalmitis associated with this organism appears to be highly stereotypical. Recognition and treatment of this complication of cataract surgery allows an excellent chance at cure.
