ABSTRACT
Chronic postoperative endophthalmitis is a distinct clinical entity that describes eridophthalmitis that presents one or more months after cataract surgery and which is associated with micro organisms of low-grade virulence. This study concerns the case of a 65-year-old man in whom chronic endophthalmitis developed three months after extracapsular cataract extraction with implantation of a posterior chamber intraocular lens. Aspergillus niger was isolated and identified from the infiltrate which was recovered from the anterior chamber of the left eye. The infection responded to combined medical and surgical treatment
