Abstract

Purpose:To present a unique ocular infection with intraocular calcification and corneal deposits after blunt ocular trauma in a 85 year old male patient caused by Edwardsiella tarda, which is a facultative anaerob, mainly a pathogen of fish species .
Case presentation:Anterior chamber tap was carried out but culture yielded no result. Anterior chamber washout and intraocular lens extraction was performed and corneal depeosits with fibrinoid membrane was sent for anaerobic culturing and cytologic analysis.The anaerobic culture of the anterior chamber washout material grew Edwarsiella tarda, an unusual human pathogen
Conclusion: This is the first documented corneal and capsular infection and calcification caused by Edwarsiella tarda. It may be a rare cause of endophtalmitis
