Left: Marked conjunctival congestion, fibrin in the pupil and anterior chamber, hypopyon, and visual acuity reduced to light perception on postoperative day 1. The patient was treated with pars plana vitrectomy and injected with intravitreal antibiotics. Right: The vitreous culture isolated Serratia marcescens.
