PurposeTo report a case of Neisseriameningitidisendophthalmitis in association with a leaking filtering bleb and to consider antibiotic prophylaxis of those people with whom the patient had contact.MethodWe treated an 81-year-old man who had a chronic, leaking filtering bleb and who developed exogenous Nmeningitidisendophthalmitis.ResultNmeningitidisendophthalmitis was controlled with antibiotic therapy. Antibiotic prophylaxis for those with whom the patient had contact was not recommended.ConclusionIn this case, theN meningitidisstrain was not considered invasive because the bacteria apparently entered the eye through a leaky filtering bleb and not through the bloodstream. Recovery of noninvasiveN meningitidisdoes not require prophylaxis for patient contacts. In cases of endogenous or idiopathicN meningitidisendophthalmitis, antibiotic prophylaxis of close patient contacts may be warranted.
