Nocardia, which is a gram positive aerobic bacteria species, usually causes pulmonary infections in humans. It may spread by hematogenous dissemination to other organ systems and cause infections like endogenous endophthalmitis. Nocardia has been rarely reported as an agent pathogen in exogenous endophthalmitis. The ophthalmic infection demonstrates a low grade and chronic clinical presentation. We herein present an exogenous endophthalmitis case secondary to Nocardia asteroides.Keywords: Endophthalmitis, NocardiaTurkiye Klinikleri J Ophthalmol 1998, 7:137-139
