Listeria monocytogenes endophthalmitis

Abstract

A 62-year-old white man developed an acute anterior chamber inflammation in his left eye. Listeria monocytogenes was cultured from the vitreous aspirate. There was no evidence for ocular trauma or distant site of infection from which hematogenous spread of the organism occurred. No underlying state of immunocompromise was demonstrated. The endophthalmitis responded well to therapy.
