Background And Objective: To report on the microbiology, management, and visual outcomes of intravitreal injection (IVI)-associated, culture-proven endophthalmitis.
Patients And Methods: All patients seen at a tertiary referral center with culture-proven endophthalmitis associated with an IVI between June 2007 and July 2017 were included in this retrospective analysis.
Results: Thirty-five patients with culture-positive endophthalmitis following IVI were identified. All gram-positive organisms (34 of 35) were susceptible to vancomycin. Cases due to pathogens associated with oral or respiratory flora were common (31.4%, n = 11), presented earlier (2.0 days vs. 4.6 days, P < .001), were more likely to undergo pars plana vitrectomy (81.8% vs. 25.0%, P = .002) and had worse visual acuity outcomes.
Conclusion: IVI-associated endophthalmitis pathogens and anti-microbial susceptibilities in the Pacific Northwest are similar to those reported from other geographic locations. Bacteria associated with the oral and respiratory flora are common isolates that result in a more aggressive course and worse visual outcomes. [Ophthalmic Surg Lasers Imaging Retina. 2019;50:33-38.].

endophthalmitis is a severe vision-threatening disease. This study aimed to analyze the clinical characteristics, antibiotic susceptibility, and risk factors for poor final visual acuity (VA) and enucleation or evisceration (ENEV) outcomes of endophthalmitis patients. We retrospectively reviewed 52 cases (52 eyes) of culture-proven endophthalmitis at Zhongshan Ophthalmic Center from January 2013 to December 2023.

Background: To evaluate the clinical profile, outcomes and antibiotic resistance in bacterial endophthalmitis.
Methods: This was a post-hoc analysis of a study conducted at a tertiary centre, where 60 consecutive cases of culture-proven bacterial endophthalmitis were included prospectively. Group 1 included coagulase-negative Staphylococcus endophthalmitis (CNSE), while group 2 included the remaining cases.

Endophthalmitis is an uncommon purulent inflammation of the intraocular fluids secondary to endogenous or exogenous causes. It is known that posttraumatic endophthalmitis had a notably poor visual outcome, and it poses therapeutic challenges. Therefore, early organism detection would be beneficial in therapeutic management and are able to reduce long-term complications.
