Post-traumatic endophthalmitis (PTE) is an uncommon sequela of open globe injuries. In cases involving an intraocular foreign body (IOFB), the risk of PTE increases by up to four-fold. Typically, presentation occurs in the acute timeframe [1]. Only three reported cases of delayed-onset PTE currently exist in the literature (two cases caused by Proprionibacterium acnes and one by Phaeoacremonium parasiticum, a fungal pathogen) [2-4]. We describe a case of delayed-onset post-traumatic endophthalmitis (PTE) caused by Lysinibacillus spp., an organism not previously reported in the ophthalmic literature
