Abstract Purpose:To report a case of acute dacryocystitis due to Mycoplasma faucium diagnosed by metagenomic analysis.

Case:A 78-year-old female presented with swelling and pain in the left lacrimal sac area since 8 days before. She had had lacrimation in the left eye since 17 years before.

Findings:The left lacrimal sac area showed hyperemia, swelling and pain, leading to the diagnosis of acute dacryocystitis. Aspiration through the left lacrimal punctum showed 5 ml of yellowish secretion. Conventional cultivation of the secrete was negative. Analysis by 16S ribosomal DNA clone library showed preponderance of Mycoplasma faucium.

Conclusion:Metagenomic analysis was useful in the diagnosis of acute dacryocystitis due to Mycoplasma faucium.
