Bacillus cereus endophthalmitis.
Endophthalmitis, of any aetiology, is a potentially devastating ocular infection. Few patients are able to maintain good visual acuity. Many retain only navigational vision and a significant number require evisceration or enucleation. 2 The incidence ofendophthalmitis after trauma has been estimated to occur in 2-7% of cases.3 Various organisms have been implicated but, in recent years, Bacillu...
متن کاملExperimental Bacillus cereus post-traumatic endophthalmitis and treatment with ciprofloxacin.
BACKGROUND Bacillus species remain an important cause of post-traumatic endophthalmitis, often causing permanent visual loss. METHODS Twenty two rabbits were used to evaluate the clinical and histological findings of Bacillus cereus experimental post-traumatic endophthalmitis. Eyes that had received a scleral laceration and surgical repair were inoculated with Bacillus cereus. Thirty four oth...
متن کاملTreatment of Bacillus cereus endophthalmitis with endoscopy-assisted vitrectomy
To evaluate the use of endoscopy-assisted vitrectomy in patients with sight-threatening Bacillus cereus endophthalmitis.A retrospective analysis was conducted in 15 eyes with Bacillus cereus endophthalmitis. Patients were divided into 2 groups: endoscopy-assisted vitrectomy (5 eyes) and conventional vitrectomy (10 eyes). The following clinical data were recorded and analyzed: sex, age, latent p...
متن کاملA Role for Tumor Necrosis Factor- in Experimental Bacillus cereus Endophthalmitis Pathogenesis
RESULTS. B. cereus replicated more rapidly in the eyes of TNF / mice than in the eyes of B6.129F1 mice. Retinal function decreased more rapidly in TNF / mice than in B6.129F1 mice. Retinal layers were not as structurally intact at 6 and 12 hours after infection in TNF / eyes as in B6.129F1 eyes. Histologic analysis suggested less polymorphonuclear leukocyte (PMN) infiltration into the vitreous ...
متن کاملEffects of intravitreal corticosteroids in the treatment of Bacillus cereus endophthalmitis.
OBJECTIVE To investigate whether intravitreal corticosteroid therapy reduces the extent of inflammatory intraocular tissue damage caused by Bacillus cereus endophthalmitis. METHODS New Zealand white rabbits were inoculated with 1 x 10(6) B cereus organisms and randomized to receive no treatment (control eyes; n=14), intravitreal vancomycin hydrochloride (n=13), or a combination of intravitrea...
