We report a case of rapidly progressive vision loss in a young woman with a history of injection drug use. Subsequent enucleation of the affected eye was done and Bacillus cereus grew on tissue culture. B. cereus is a rare cause of endogenous endophthalmitis due to hematogenous seeding of the vitreous in the setting of injection drug use.
我们报告了一例有注射吸毒史的年轻女性快速进行性视力丧失的病例。随后对患眼进行了眼球摘除术，组织培养长出了蜡样芽孢杆菌。蜡样芽孢杆菌是注射吸毒情况下因血行播散至玻璃体导致内源性眼内炎的罕见病因。
