We report the first case of an unexpected exogenous Listeria monocytogenes endophthalmitis in a previously healthy woman after a cow tail’s sweep, successfully treated with surgical and linezolid. It is the first case carried out with linezolid to treat Listeria endophthalmitis. Therefore, it may challenge the requirement for intravenous antibiotics for long-term treatment.
