Abstract
Purpose: To report a case of post-traumatic endophthalmitis secondary to Bacillus pumilus/safensis .
Methods: Observational case report of a single patient.
Results: A 62-year-old man presented with a traumatic corneal laceration because of baling wire while working on a sheep farm. Appropriate corneal laceration repair with injection of intravitreal antibiotics (ceftazidime, clindamycin, and vancomycin) was performed. A single organism, identified as B. pumilus or Bacillus safensis, was isolated from the vitreous aspirate. A subsequent pars plana vitrectomy, pars plana lensectomy, anterior capsulotomy, and fluid-air exchange was required because of severe inflammatory reaction from retained lens material, retinal edema, and vitreous opacities. Vision improved from hand motion to 20/60 at the three-month follow-up visit.
Conclusion: We describe a case of acute post-traumatic endophthalmitis secondary to B. pumilus/safensis.
