Abstrakt:	Purpose: To report the successful treatment of post intravitreal bevacizumab recurrent Burkholderia cepacia endophthalmitis managed with a clear lens extraction and posterior capsulectomy. Observation: A 34-year-old female African, known SC hemoglobinopathy patient, presented with bilateral blur in vision and floaters of a week duration; worse in her right eye. Her visual acuity was right eye 6/9 (20/30) and left eye 6/6 (20/20). Her anterior segment examination was normal in both eyes. On fundus examination, she had a right eye vitreous hemorrhage and bilateral active Sea-fan neovascular proliferation in the retina periphery. Following the administration of bilateral simultaneous intravitreal bevacizumab, she presented 4 days later with a right eye infective endophthalmitis. She suffered multiple recurrences despite adequate treatment, including a vitrectomy with silicone oil injection. Multiple microbiological assessment of intraocular extracts confirmed persistent Burkholderia cepacia infection. A wide ring-shaped opaque plaque was noticed on the posterior capsule of her clear lens. A decision was taken to perform a lensectomy and posterior capsulectomy. This resulted in immediate resolution of hypopyon and all intraocular inflammation. Vision improved from Hand Motion to 6/18 (20/60). Conclusion and Importance: This report suggests than in some cases of recurrent, difficult to treat, Burkholderia cepacia endophthalmitis, since the organism may have colonized the posterior lens capsule, the eye and vision can be salvaged by timely removal of a clear lens and capsulectomy. Clear lens removal has not been previously reported for treating recurrent Burkholderia cepacia endophthalmitis.
