Article Synopsis
- The study examined endogenous endophthalmitis (EE) in Spain and Mexico, analyzing 705 cases and identifying 78 EE cases, highlighting differences in microbial infections, antibiotic resistance, and patient outcomes between the two countries.
- In Spain, 60.25% of cases had bacterial infections (primarily Staphylococcus and Streptococcus), while in Mexico, 39.74% had fungal infections (mostly Candida), with diabetes mellitus being a significant risk factor, especially prevalent in Mexico.
- Treatment included various antibiotics and procedures, revealing overall better success rates for bacterial infections (around 50%) than fungal infections (around 30%); the study stresses the need for region-specific healthcare strategies and continuous research on EE management
