Endophthalmitis is among the most sight-threatening infections in ophthalmology practice. Many microorganisms causing endophthalmitis have been reported. Stenotrophomonas maltophilia is among the rare causes of endophthalmitis and has been reported after cataract surgery, intravitreal injections and ocular trauma. We report a case of S. maltophilia endophthalmitis after keratoplasty, which is a rare entity, in a 63-year-old female patient.
眼内炎是眼科临床中最具视力威胁的感染之一。已有许多导致眼内炎的微生物被报道。嗜麦芽窄食单胞菌是眼内炎的罕见病因之一，曾在白内障手术、玻璃体内注射及眼外伤后被报道。我们报告一例63岁女性患者在角膜移植术后发生嗜麦芽窄食单胞菌性眼内炎的病例，这是一种罕见情况。
