Abstract
An 88-year-old man developed recurrent bouts of dacryocystitis and underwent dacryocystorhinostomy. Cultures from the lacrimal sac demonstrated Stenotrophomonas maltophilia. This uncommon bacterium is highly antibiotic resistant, and clinicians should consider it in atypical cases of infection and should guide antibiotic therapy appropriately.Entities:
