A 22-year-old black female intravenous cocaine addict presented with an endophthalmitis of the right eye. Diagnostic evaluation included an immediate anterior chamber paracentesis and a delayed vitreous aspiration. Although cultures from the involved eye were negative, all 7 blood cultures grew Bacillus cereus suggesting that this organism was the responsible agent of an endogenous endophthalmitis. The patient was treated with appropriate systemic and local antibiotics with resolution of the acute inflammatory signs. However, a phthisical eye has been noted on follow-up examinations.
一名22岁的黑人女性静脉注射可卡因成瘾者，右眼出现眼内炎。诊断评估包括立即进行前房穿刺术和延迟进行玻璃体抽吸术。尽管患眼的培养结果为阴性，但7次血培养均培养出蜡样芽孢杆菌，提示该菌是内源性眼内炎的致病原。患者接受了适当的全身和局部抗生素治疗，急性炎症体征消退。然而，随访检查发现患眼已萎缩。
