Four months earlier, he had undergone IOL surgery in the right eye. He had recovered well, when he accidentally injured his left eye with a branch of a tree 6 weeks after surgery. He reported ...
متن کاملMicrobial profile of the vitreous aspirates in culture proven exogenous endophthalmitis: A 10-year retrospective study.
PURPOSE To describe the microbiological profile and clinical outcome in the eyes with culture-proven exogenous endophthalmitis. METHODS A retrospective analysis of 495 eyes diagnosed as exogenous endophthalmitis was performed over a period of 10 years. In all, aseptically collected aqueous and vitreous aspirates were cultured for bacteria and fungus using standard microbiological techniques. ...
متن کاملBacterial Endogenous Endophthalmitis
Background: Bacterial endogenous endophthalmitis (BEE) is uncommon and severe. Few patients who have this disease are initially misdiagnosed. Its victims usually have an underlying disease which predisposes them to infection. Blood and vitreous cultures are the most frequently used media of establishing the diagnosis. Staphylococcus aureus, group B streptococci, Streptococcus pneumonia and List...
متن کاملExogenous Streptococcus pneumoniae Endophthalmitis in Diabetic Rabbits
Diabetics are at increased risk for eye infections including bacterial endophthalmitis. It is unclear whether the severity of endophthalmitis is greater in these patients due to confounding factors such as pre-existing ocular diseases in some but not others. Therefore, we tested the hypothesis that disease severity and/or bacterial loads would be significantly higher in a Type I diabetic rabbit...
متن کاملBilateral sequential Propionibacterium acnes exogenous endophthalmitis
A 68-year-old man underwent uncomplicated sequential cataract extractions performed more than a year apart. He presented 6 months after the second surgery with persistent intraocular inflammation in both eyes. Cultures from both eyes grew Propionibacterium acnes and he responded well to treatment. Suspicion for delayed-onset post-operative endophthalmitis must remain high in uveitis cases that ...
