Endophthalmitis Caused by

To report the clinical features, antibiotic susceptibility profiles, treatment, and visual acuity (VA) outcomes of endophthalmitis caused byRetrospective case series.Patients with endophthalmitis caused byMicrobiology database records were retrospectively reviewed for all patients with endophthalmitis caused bypresenting clinical features, visual acuity outcomes, and antibiotic susceptibility patterns.Of 10 patients identified, clinical settings included post-cataract surgery (n = 6), post-penetrating keratoplasty (n = 2), and post-trabeculectomy (n = 2). The mean time from surgical procedure to presentation with endophthalmitis was 6.8 months (range: 1 day to 28 months). All isolates were vancomycin susceptible. Presenting VA ranged from 7/200 to no light perception. Initial treatment strategies were vitreous tap and intravitreal antibiotic injection (n = 5) and pars plana vitrectomy with intravitreal antibiotic injection (n = 5). VA outcomes were ≥ 20/60 in 5 (50%) of 10 patients and ≤ 20/400 in 5 (50%) of 10 patients.The most common clinical setting was post-cataract surgery. All isolates were susceptible to vancomycin. Despite prompt treatment with appropriate antibiotics, there were variable visual outcomes.
