Fusarium pathogen is an uncommon cause of infections in ophthalmology. To our knowledge, there are few cases of isolated human endogenous endophthalmitis without concomitant immunodepression. An early diagnostics and therapy allowed an excellent functional recovery when compared to the reported cases in the literature.

We describe a unique case of sclerouveitis that progressed to endogenous endophthalmitis in a 69-year-old male with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). We highlight the risk of treating sclerouveitis with oral corticosteroids, which can exacerbate an infection and contribute to disease progression. A 69-year-old male with CLL on zanubrutinib, a second-generation Bruton's tyrosine kinase inhibitor, was admitted to the hospital for osteomyelitis of the left foot.

Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to analyze the types of pathogens and their antibiotic resistance found in ocular infections over a five-year period at two hospitals in east China.
- Out of 2727 ocular specimens collected, 827 yielded positive cultures, with bacterial strains (60.85%) being more prevalent than fungal strains (39.15%), and Gram-positive cocci emerging as the most common pathogens.
- Notably, over 50% of Gram-positive cocci were resistant to fluoroquinolones, while multidrug resistance among bacteria showed a significant decrease over time.

Fungal endophthalmitis is a chronic inflammatory condition of the eye's posterior segment that can lead to irreversible vision loss. While relatively rare in western countries, its incidence is notably higher in Asia, particularly India. The condition's prevalence is exacerbated by factors such as intravenous drug use, antibiotics, and ocular surgeries.

Aims: This study is designed to generalize and depict the research hotspots of endophthalmitis through bibliometric methods and software and analyze the evolutive tendency of the work on this severe disease over the past 30 years.
Methods: This study employed a rigorous bibliometric approach. We identified all endophthalmitis-related literature by conducting a comprehensive search of the Science Citation Index Expanded database under the Web of Science Core Collection.
