Gemella haemolysans is a commensal of the upper respiratory tract that is rarely involved in ocular pathology. We present a unique case of endophthalmitis with negative cultures and positive 16s ribosomal ribonucleic acid gene sequencing showing G. haemolysans infection after an intravitreal ranibizumab injection for wet age-related macular degeneration.
溶血孪生球菌是上呼吸道的一种共生菌,很少引起眼部病变。我们报告了一例独特的眼内炎病例,培养结果为阴性,但16s核糖体核糖核酸基因测序呈阳性,显示在玻璃体腔内注射雷珠单抗治疗湿性年龄相关性黄斑变性后发生了溶血孪生球菌感染。
