Popis: We report the use of a novel technique "syndrome evaluation system" (Xcyton) as a rapid diagnostic tool in the diagnosis of a case of post-operative polymicrobial endophthalmitis. A patient with low-grade chronic endophthalmitis caused by Propionibacterium acnes and Candida species was diagnosed using this technology from aqueous sample and then treated with intravitreal antibiotics and antifungals.
