Abstract

A case of Enterococcal endophthalmitis developed following an extracapsular cataract extraction. The infection was successfully treated with intravenous and intravitreal ampicillin, but a secondary glaucoma led to a later enucleation. We report a case of postoperative endophthalmitis with an unusual etiology, which did not respond to common treatment.
