Resumen :
A 72-year-old man with chronic endophthalmitis who received steroid treatment
for 3 months came to our center. Sterile endophthalmitis after cataract extraction
had been diagnosed. Aqueous samples including smears, classic cultures, and
polymerase chain reaction were taken for microbiological study. Amplified DNA
was sequenced to identify the pathogen. Polymerase chain reaction amplification
was positive for bacteria. Sequence analysis showed Corynebacterium macginleyi
as the causal agent in 48 hours. The culture and smear stains from the ocular
samples were negative. The patient was successfully treated with vancomycin.
Polymerase chain reaction and subsequent DNA-typing were useful in detecting
the microorganisms that caused the chronic endophthalmitis.
