Аннотация
PURPOSE: To report a case of atypical, indolent presentation of scleral buckle infection, caused by Cutibacterium acnes (formerly known as Propionibacterium acnes ).
METHODS: Observational case report.
RESULTS: A 44-year-old healthy woman with a history of scleral buckling procedure for retinal detachment repair 16 years before presentation was admitted with pain and redness in her left eye for 6 weeks. Conjunctival hyperemia and vascular congestion were noted over the scleral buckle in a circular manner without signs of exposure. After removal of the scleral buckle, culture analysis revealed C. acnes. Systemic amoxicillin was administrated. Over a six-month follow-up, the retina remained attached.
CONCLUSION: Cutibacterium acnes , known to be associated with chronic postoperative endophthalmitis after cataract surgery, may also lead to scleral buckle infection with an indolent, chronic course.
