Purpose: To describe a series of 4 patients with Waldenström macroglobulinemia and serous macular detachment, and propose a mechanism for development of subretinal fluid based on optical coherence tomography (OCT) findings.
Design: Retrospective observational case series.
Methods: The records of patients with Waldenström macroglobulinemia and OCT documentation of serous macular detachment at Wills Eye Institute were reviewed.
Purpose: To present the microbiologic spectrum and susceptibilities of isolates in posttraumatic endophthalmitis, and to provide a review of the literature.
Design: Retrospective consecutive case series.
Methods: A review of 1182 consecutive open globe injuries was performed, identifying 10 patients with culture-proven endophthalmitis.
Purpose: Intravitreal injection of triamcinolone acetonide has been advocated to treat exudative diabetic macular edema. The purpose of the study was to evaluate the clinical outcome of an intravitreal injection of triamcinolone acetonide as treatment for diffuse diabetic macular edema.
Methods: This study was a retrospective, interventional, clinical case series examining 210 eyes of 174 patients who received an intravitreal injection of 1 or 4 mg of triamcinolone acetonide for treatment of diffuse diabetic macular edema.
Presumed sterile endophthalmitis following intravitreal triamcinolone acetonide injection.

Background And Objective: To report acute postoperative, presumed sterile endophthalmitis following intravitreal injection of triamcinolone acetonide (IVTA).
Patients And Methods: Retrospective, interventional, multicenter study of patients with acute sterile endophthalmitis following IVTA injection.
Results: A total of 922 IVTA injections were performed.
Purpose: To present the microbial spectrum and susceptibilities of isolates in endophthalmitis following penetrating keratoplasty.
Design: Interventional case series.
Methods: The 1,074 consecutive cases of endophthalmitis presenting to Wills Eye Hospital between 1989 and 2000 were reviewed.
Purpose: To report the clinical features, causative organisms, management, and visual acuity outcomes of eight eyes of eight patients who developed acute postoperative endophthalmitis following intravitreal injection of triamcinolone acetonide (IVTA).
Design: Retrospective, multicenter, interventional, case series.
Methods: A retrospective, interventional, case series of all patients with acute postoperative endophthalmitis following IVTA at seven academic clinical centers between March 2001 and July 2002.
Purpose: To report potentially distinguishing characteristics between bacterial endophthalmitis and presumed noninfectious endophthalmitis associated with intravitreal triamcinolone acetonide injection.
Methods: Records of two patients with culture-proven bacterial endophthalmitis and six patients with presumed noninfectious endophthalmitis from intravitreal triamcinolone acetonide injections were analyzed retrospectively.
Results: Two eyes in two patients with culture-proven bacterial endophthalmitis had decreased vision and hypopyon or vitritis, but no pain or conjunctival injection 2 weeks after intravitreal triamcinolone acetonide injection.
