Abstract. Purpose:To report an unusual case of endogenous endophthalmitis due to Listeria monocytogens. Case:A 66-year-old female presented with hypopyon and severe uveitis in the left eye. She had been receiving peroral prednisolone, methotrexate and infliximab for rheumatoic arthritis. Smear of the aqueous humor showed gram-positive bacillus, leading to the diagnosis of infectious endophthalmitis. After treatment with antibiotics, vitrectomy was performed for dense vitreous opacity. Localized peripheral retinal vasculitis and exudates were observed during surgery. The visual acuity improved to 1.0. A strain of Listeria monocytogenes was isolated after cultivation of the aqueous. Conclusion:This case illustrates that Listeria monocytogenes may serve as pathogen for endophthalmitis when systemic immune suppression is present.
