ABSTRACT
Unilateral endophthalmitis developed in a 47-year-old man following an intraocular eye injury with a metallic foreign body. Eventually, Oerskovia xanthineolytica was isolated from the vitreous humour. To our knowledge this is the first documented case of endophthalmitis caused by this organism in humans. The clinical course and management of this opportunistic infection are discussed.
