Simultaneous bacterial endophthalmitis and sympathetic uveitis after retinal detachment surgery.

Histopathologic findings included vitreous abscess with probable staphylococcus organisms, total retinal detechment and diffuse chronic choroiditis with granulomatous foci, typical of sympathetic uveitis.
