A Corynebacterium sp was isolated from the vitreous humor under aseptic conditions on two separate occasions from a patient with endophthalmitis resulting from a penetrating injury by a metallic foreign body. The metallic foreign body was removed during a pars plana lensectomy and anterior vitrectomy procedure; intravitreously injected methicillin sodium, gentamicin sulfate, and dexamethasone sodium phosphate gave a functional visual result. Intravitreous inoculation of rabbits with the Corynebacterium isolate produced an endophthalmitis similar to that produced in the patient, and subsequent cultures from the vitreous of the inoculated rabbits grew the same Corynebacterium sp. To our knowledge, this is the first reported case of endophthalmitis in which a Corynebacterium sp was documented by intraocular culture.
在无菌条件下，从一名因金属异物穿透伤导致眼内炎的患者眼玻璃体液中两次分离出棒状杆菌属细菌。在扁平部晶状体切除术和前部玻璃体切割术中取出了金属异物；玻璃体内注射甲氧西林钠、硫酸庆大霉素和磷酸地塞米松钠后视力恢复正常。用分离出的棒状杆菌对兔子进行玻璃体内接种，引发了与该患者相似的眼内炎，随后从接种兔子的玻璃体中培养出了相同的棒状杆菌属细菌。据我们所知，这是首例通过眼内培养记录到棒状杆菌属细菌的眼内炎病例。
