Özet
Endophthalmitis is among the most sight-threatening infections in ophthalmology practice. Many microorganisms causing endophthalmitis have been reported. Stenotrophomonas maltophilia is among the rare causes of endophthalmitis and has been reported after cataract surgery, intravitreal injections and ocular trauma. We report a case of S. maltophilia endophthalmitis after keratoplasty, which is a rare entity, in a 63-year-old female patient.
