Abstract

Acinetobacter johnsonii is an uncommon cause of endophthalmitis. This case report describes a 40-year-old male admitted with pain, redness, and vision loss in his right eye after an open globe injury by a steel fragment. Clinical assessment confirmed post-traumatic endophthalmitis with an intraocular foreign body. The patient underwent a vitreous biopsy, lensectomy, vitrectomy, and intravitreal antibiotics, followed by laser photocoagulation and foreign body extraction via the pars plana. Acinetobacter johnsonii was isolated from the vitreous culture. A combination of vancomycin, levofloxacin and ceftazidime was administered, leading to reduced infection and inflammation. Postoperatively at one month, the patients’ best-corrected visual acuity had improved to 20/63. The anterior segment exhibited no inflammation, the vitreous cavity was clear, and the retina with hemorrhage and laser treatment remained stable. The one-year follow-up confirmed the continued stability of the ocular condition. Acinetobacter johnsonii, a rare cause of endophthalmitis often linked to trauma or surgery, should be recognized as a possible pathogen in post-traumatic endophthalmitis cases, meriting clinical consideration.
