Endophthalmitis Caused by Listeria monocytogenes

Listeria monocytogenes was isolated from the aqueous chamber of an immunodepressed patient with acute hypertensive uveitis, who developed a dark hypopyon and pigment dispersion. No extraocular septic focus was found. Treatment was successful with intravitreal vancomycin, anterior chamber irrigation with vancomycin, orally administered ciprofloxacin, and topical fortified vancomycin.
