Figure 1 Clinical features of mycobacterium fortuitum endophthalmitis. (A) Biomicroscopic examination identified conjunctival congestion (represented by the white arrow) and a distorted pupil obscured by hypopyon (the pupillary margin hidden in the circle). (B) Biomicroscopic examination identified a severe fibrinous reaction (the fibrinous tissues in the circle) and hypopyon in front of the intraocular lens (represented by the black arrow). (C and D) The vitreous and fundus have a yellow and white purulent exudate. (E) A B-scan ocular ultrasound identified vitreous opacification.
