Abstract

We describe an infrequent case of endophthalmitis due to intraocular caterpillar hairs. We report a notable decrease of inflammation after Argon laser photocoagulation of the caterpillar hairs. We also present optical and electronic microscope photographs of one of the hairs extracted from the patient's conjunctiva.
