Endophthalmitis post complicated cataract surgery associated with Klebsiella pneumoniae.

Abstract

An 82-year-old woman underwent complicated cataract surgery with subsequent endophthalmitis. She presented with a unique purulent collection with ciliary body involvement and Klebsiella pneumoniae was grown on culture. Klebsiella is a rare cause of endophthalmitis and ciliary body involvement has not previously been reported.
