Article Synopsis
- Infectious keratitis in children under two years old can cause severe issues like vision loss and blindness, but data on this age group is limited, prompting a study to examine its causes and treatment.
- The study reviewed 57 cases from July 2005 to December 2022, revealing that most affected children had predisposing factors such as prior eye trauma or surgery, with Pseudomonas aeruginosa being the most common pathogen.
- Findings showed that while medical treatments were effective against infections, many children still required surgical intervention, indicating a need for improved management strategies in this vulnerable population.
Objective: To examine the prognostic factors and features of post-traumatic endophthalmitis.
Methods: This retrospective study enrolled adult patients (>18 years old) diagnosed with post-traumatic endophthalmitis. Their medical records were reviewed and the patient demographic characteristics, features of injury, management, outcomes and microbiology data were analysed.
Background: Based on endophthalmitis vitrectomy study, intravitreal injection of antibiotics is preferred for initial management of cases of acute post cataract surgery endophthalmitis (APCE) with presenting vision of hand motions (HM). This study aimed to compare outcomes of early and complete vitrectomy (VIT) and vitreous tap and antibiotic injection (T&I) in cases of APCE presented with vision of HM.
Methods: In this prospective study, cases of APCE with vision of HM between 2018 and 2020 were enrolled.
Endophthalmitis is the most serious complication of cataract surgery. A cluster of endophthalmitis is a devastating event for surgeons. is the main causative pathogen of Gram-negative endophthalmitis, which can be suggestive of the occurrence of an outbreak.

Findings: A 68-year-old woman without any history of systemic diseases referred to the emergency ward of Farabi eye hospital with a two-week history of decreased vision in her left eye. Fundoscopy of the left eye revealed mild venous tortuosity, hemorrhagic retinitis within the macula, and papillitis.
Purpose: To assess the efficacy of chlorhexidine monotherapy for Acanthamoeba keratitis, and to determine the therapeutic outcomes of concomitant topical corticosteroids.
Methods: In this prospective interventional case series, 31 eyes of 31 patients with Acanthamoeba keratitis (AK) were treated with chlorhexidine 0.02% as monotherapy, from April 2010 to April 2011.
