Seven weeks postoperatively the patient developed cephalosporium endophthalmitis. Intensive medical and surgical therapy was unsuccessful and the eye had to be enucleated within three weeks. Cephalosporium species are isolated more often in intraocular infection than from corneal ulceration. Although favorable response to Amphotericin-B and Primaricin has been reported, the final outcome has been unfavorable in most of these cases.
