Exam findings at initial presentation. a Slit-lamp photograph shows inflammation in the anterior chamber with fibrin formation, poorly dilated pupil, and early rubeosis (arrow). b B-scan ultrasonography reveals vitreous opacities (asterisk) and partial retinal detachment with subretinal fluid (arrow)

Examination of the left eye revealed severe inflammation with fibrin in the anterior chamber, poorly dilated pupil, and early rubeosis (Fig. 1a). As there was no view of the posterior segment in the left eye, B-scan ultrasonography was performed, which showed vitreous opacities and partial retinal detachment with subretinal fluid (Fig. 1b). 
Gomori methenamine silver stain of the subretinal mass reveals numerous organisms (original magnification x 400). Inset: Characteristic filamentous and bacillary morphology of these organisms is consistent with Nocardia (original magnification x 1000)

A fibrous, inflammatory subretinal mass was removed inferiorly just beyond the inferotemporal arcade and sent for pathology, which revealed numerous organisms morphologically consistent with Nocardia on silver stain (Fig. 2).
