RESUMO
La hipertrigliceridemia engloba un conjunto de trastornos lipídicos comunes en la práctica clínica, generalmente definidos como una concentración superior a 150mg/dL en ayunas. Existen diversas clasificaciones de la gravedad de la hipertrigliceridemia en función de sus valores séricos, considerándose por norma general moderada cuando los niveles son inferiores a 500mg/dL y severa cuando son mayores de 1.000mg/dL. Su importancia radica en su asociación con otras alteraciones del perfil lipídico, contribuyendo al aumento del riesgo cardiovascular y de pancreatitis aguda, fundamentalmente con concentraciones superiores a 500mg/dL.(AU)
Hypertriglyceridemia encompasses a set of lipid disorders common in clinical practice, generally defined as a fasting concentration above 150mg/dL. There are various classifications of the severity of hypertriglyceridaemia based on serum values, with levels generally considered moderate when below 500mg/dL and severe when above 1000mg/dL. Its importance lies in its association with other alterations in the lipid profile, contributing to increased cardiovascular risk and increased risk of acute pancreatitis, mainly with concentrations above 500mg/dL.(AU)

We present the case of a patient with an infection by Nocardia which manifested itself with monocular endophthalmitis. Nocardia infection is not common and ocular involvement is one of the most uncommon presentations. In these cases it is very important to make an early diagnosis and intensive treatment to prevent the visual prognosis.
