Research on Capnocytophaga Published by Researchers at University Clinical Hospital (Sudden Vision Loss as the First Sign of Sepsis-Bilateral Endogenous Endophthalmitis of Uncommon Capnocytophaga canimorsus Etiology).

A recent study conducted at the University Clinical Hospital in Wroclaw, Poland, focused on a case of bilateral endogenous endophthalmitis caused by Capnocytophaga canimorsus, a rare bacterium. The patient, a 42-year-old individual without a spleen, experienced sudden vision loss, which led to a diagnosis of sepsis. The researchers emphasized the importance of quick diagnosis and appropriate treatment for this aggressive infection, particularly in immunocompromised patients. The study's findings were published in the journal Medicina. [Extracted from the article]
