Acute postoperative Staphylococcus schleiferi endophthalmitis following uncomplicated cataract surgery: first report in the literature.

Introduction: We report a rare case of acute postoperative Staphylococcus schleiferi endophthalmitis following an uneventful cataract extraction.


Methods: An 83-year-old woman underwent uneventful phacoemulsification without receiving the usual intracameral cefuroxime solution due to cephalosporin intolerance. Two days postoperatively, she presented with acute ocular pain and blurred vision in the operated eye.

Twenty-four-hour control with latanoprost-timolol-fixed combination therapy vs latanoprost therapy.

Objective: To evaluate the 24-hour efficacy and safety of the latanoprost-timolol maleate-fixed combination vs latanoprost therapy in patients with primary open-angle glaucoma.

Methods: A prospective, observer-masked, crossover, active-controlled, randomized comparison in which after a 6-week medicine-free period, patients were randomized to either latanoprost-timolol-fixed combination therapy or latanoprost therapy, both dosed once each evening, alone for 8 weeks. Patients were then switched to the opposite treatment for 8 weeks.
