Abstract
- This paper reports the case of a chronic endophthalmitis with hypopion produced by propionibacterium acnes (p. a.) in a patient operated on for cataract and implanted with a posterior chamber intraocular lens. This granulomatous uveitis appeared 8 days after surgery and did not heal with a systemic corticoid-antibiotics treatment. The diagnosis was obtained by vitreous analysis. The responsibility of p. a. must be always searched in case of chronic endophthalmitis in pseudophakic patients: a specific treatment has to be used.
