This chapter evaluates endophthalmitis, which is a vision-threatening inflammation of the inner eye fluids and tissues. Infectious endophthalmitis results from either exogenous or endogenous entry of microbes into the eye. In reported clinical series, exogenous endophthalmitis is much more common than endogenous (or metastatic) endophthalmitis.

Endophthalmitis is a severe intraocular infection with potentially devastating consequences, such as becoming blind or loss of an eyeball. It can be exogenous (postoperative or posttraumatic) or endogenous. The most frequent causes of postoperative endophthalmitis are cataract surgery and intravitreal injections.

Abstract: Endophthalmitis is an eye inflammation, involving the vitreous cavity and its surrounding tissues responsible for vision. In most cases, an infection triggers this inflammation. The infection can be caused by bacteria, fungi, viruses or parasites. The occurrence of this severe and devastating inflammation can be related to surgical procedures,

Infectious endophthalmitis can be caused by organisms from the environment entering the eye after ocular surgery (62%) or after penetrating ocular trauma (20%) (exogenous endophthalmitis), or can result from hematogeneous spread of organisms to the eye (8%) (endogenous endophthalmitis).

Current Opinion in Opthalmology, 2001
Despite advances in treatment and diagnosis, postoperative endophthalmitis (POE) is still not an entirely manageable complication after cataract surgery. This review focuses on recent developments regarding epidemiology, diagnosis based on the polymerase chain reaction method, experimental antibiotic therapy and clinical experience with intravitreal ...

Seventy patients referred with a diagnosis of endophthalmitis underwent anterior chamber and vitreous taps with intracameral antibiotic injections. Fifty-four eyes were culture positive, 34 (63%) after previous intraocular surgery, 12 (22%) had sustained penetrating trauma, and 8 (15%) resulted from a metastatic infection. Of 61 total isolates, 48 (79%)

Listeria monocytogenes is a rare cause of endogenous endophthalmitis. During the last 20 years about 30 cases have been published, all of which showed similar clinical features and a profound visual loss mainly owing to delayed diagnosis. This case report is about an otherwise healthy 41-year-old woman whose diagnosis was established 17 days after the ...

Prophylaxis of Endophthalmitis
Ophthalmic Surgery, Lasers and Imaging Retina, 1994ABSTRACT Prophylactic antibiotics can be administered by various routes to prevent endophthalmitis. Topical application is simple and minimally invasive, but it provides relatively poor penetration into the vitreous. Collagen shields are effective in delivering therapeutic levels of antibiotics to the cornea and aqueous but not to the ...
