Endophthalmitis is an event which is considered to be quite rare nowadays. There are many studies on post cataract endophthalmitis but very few studies have come up on post cataract Bacillus endophthalmitis and our study focuses on a similar event. Our aim was to evaluate an outbreak of post operative endophthalmitis which took place in a hospital in north Kashmir and lasted over a period of three weeks. Elective cataract surgery was performed on patients, all above 50 years of age with intra ocular lens implantation. Out of all these patients operated for cataract, 8 patients developed endophthalmitis. Vitreal tap was done and subjected to gram staining, KOH and wet mount preparations and culture. Samples from different areas and instruments of the ophthalmology unit were also taken. Out of the eight vitreous taps of the cases, three were positive. | Small outbreak with a big impact Post cataract bacillus endophthalmitis outbreak
