Exogenous endophthalmitis (ExE) results from microbial infection as a complication of ocular surgery, penetrating ocular trauma, and intraocular foreign bodies. We herein review the classification of ...
Narrative Literature Review....
Identification of the causative agent through ocular fluid analysis is central in the diagnostic work-up of ExE. Prompt intravitreal antimicrobial therapy is key to successful management of ExE and vi...
Strict adherence to treatment guidelines may improve outcomes of ExE, however the ultimate prognosis, especially in severe cases, may depend more on the virulence of the causative organism and associa...
Endophthalmitis is one of the most severe ophthalmic emergencies. Most patients experience a permanent decrease in visual acuity after the event, but the eye can be preserved in most cases. However, w...
Endogenous endophthalmitis (EE) is an uncommon but potentially devastating ocular infection involving the inner layers of the eye. The global incidence of EE is on the rise. Common ocular signs and sy...
We report an atypical presentation of endophthalmitis in a 2-month-old infant due to a rare infection by Pasteurella canis, small Gram-negative coccobacilli that inhabit the oral cavity and the gastro...
Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is associated with immune system dysfunction and makes patients vulnerable to opportunistic infections. This report presents a patient with a history of COVID-19, s...
We reported a 64-year-old man complaining of progressive visual loss in his left eye, who had previously been hospitalized for three weeks due to COVID-19. In the ophthalmologic assessment, large foci...
In patients with severe COVID-19, long-term ICU admission and immunosuppressive drugs lead to immune system dysfunction and make the patient more susceptible to opportunistic infections. Consequently,...
Corynespora cassiicola is an environmental phytopathogen implicated in various human infections and has been isolated from one case of keratitis. We report here the first case of endophthalmitis cause...
The aim of this study is to report the clinical characteristics, causative organisms, and treatment outcomes in patients presenting with endophthalmitis related to XEN stent implants....
Retrospective, noncomparative consecutive case series....
Clinical and microbiologic review was performed for 8 patients presenting to the Bascom Palmer Eye Institute Emergency Room between 2021 and 2022 with XEN stent-related endophthalmitis. Data collected...
The current study included 8 eyes from 8 patients. All cases of endophthalmitis occurred >30 days after implantation of the XEN stent. At the time of presentation, there were external exposures of the...
Endophthalmitis in the setting of XEN stents results in poor visual outcomes. The most common causative organisms are staphylococcus or streptococcus species. At time of diagnosis, prompt treatment wi...
To identify clinical risk factors for enucleation or evisceration in patients with endophthalmitis at an academic institution....
A retrospective review of patients diagnosed with endophthalmitis at Wilmer Eye Institute from 2010 to 2019 was conducted. Clinical characteristics, including demographics, cause for endophthalmitis, ...
Two hundred and fifty three patients treated for endophthalmitis over the study period were identified, of which 25 (9.88%) underwent enucleation or evisceration. Risk factors for enucleation or evisc...
Patients with endophthalmitis who underwent enucleation or evisceration had more severe disease on presentation compared to those treated with eye sparing therapy. Presenting clinical characteristics ...
Endophthalmitis is a serious, vision-threatening condition that carries with it a high rate of morbidity....
This review highlights the pearls and pitfalls of endophthalmitis, including presentation, diagnosis, and management in the emergency department (ED) based on current evidence....
Endophthalmitis is a vision-threatening emergency associated with infection and inflammation of vitreous and aqueous humor. Risk factors include ocular trauma or surgery, immunocompromised state, diab...
An understanding of endophthalmitis can assist emergency clinicians in diagnosing and managing this serious disease....
To analyze intravitreal antifungal injections performed at a tertiary center to determine (1) risk factors increasing fungal endophthalmitis likelihood at the time of patient presentation, (2) prognos...
Single-center, retrospective clinical case-control study....
Clinical course, visual outcome, and final diagnosis were analyzed for 75 patients (81 eyes) receiving intravitreal antifungal injections between 2014 and 2021. Features were compared between fungal e...
Fungal endophthalmitis was more likely than masquerade based on injection in emergency department or inpatient setting (P = .0002) vs outpatient, greater visual acuity (P = .049), artificial indwellin...
Many conditions can mimic fungal endophthalmitis, but certain risk factors should raise its suspicion. Regardless of diagnosis, presenting vision correlates with final vision. Lastly, no patients with...
