ABSTRACT
It has been reported that the cause of the bacterial endophthalmitis following cataract extraction and intraocular lens implantation was G(+) organisms in most cases. However, the endophthalmitis caused by G(-) organisms has worse prognosis than that by G(+)organisms. We experienced a case of Stenotrophomonas maltophilia endophthalmitis which has not yet been reported in Korea. A 77-year-old female presented with blurred vision, conjunctival injection and ocular pain 5 days after cataract extraction and intraocular lens implantation. Ocular findings such as corneal edema, hypopyon and thick posterior capsular opacity were consistent with infectious endophthalmitis. Culture of vitreous aspirate isolated Stenotrophomonas maltophilia 15 days after cataract extraction.
