Late-Onset, Bleb-Associated Endophthalmitis following Glaucoma Filtering Surgery with or without Antifibrotic Agents

Journal of Ocular Pharmacology and Therapeutics, 1999
The use of adjunctive antimetabolites such as 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) and mitomycin C (MMC) in trabeculectomy has caused an increased concern as to the risk of bleb-associated endophthalmitis.
