Résumé
This report describes a fulminant infection with Clostridium perfringens after an intravitreal anti-vascular endothelial growth factor injection. This is a retrospective case review. Our patient's rapid infection eventually led to enucleation, despite broad-spectrum antibiotic therapy. Reporting rare causes and common clinical findings of C. perfringens ocular infection may lead to earlier detection and intervention.
