Unlabelled: This case-series aims to report three cases of endogenous endophthalmitis due to invasive syndrome.
Case 1: A 34-year-old lady who was admitted for pneumonia developed painful blurring of vision and redness in the right eye (RE) for one week. An examination of the RE revealed visual acuity (VA) of light perception (PL) with positive relative afferent pupillary defect (RAPD), proptosis, and restriction of extraocular movement with hypopyon. The patient was treated for RE panophthalmitis with a lung abscess and was started on systemic and topical antibiotics. The vitreous tap culture grew Despite treatment, the patient's condition deteriorated, and evisceration was undertaken.
Case 2: A 38-year-old lady presented with a acute onset of RE pain associated with blurred vision and redness for two days, and fever for one week. RE VA was hand movement with a positive RAPD and anterior chamber cells of 2+. A B-scan revealed a dome-shaped subretinal mass with exudative retinal detachment. The patient was treated for RE panophthalmitis complicated by a basal ganglia abscess. The urine and vitreous tap cultures grew She responded to high-dose intravenous and intravitreal antibiotics. Unfortunately, her RE became phthisical.
Case 3: A 70-year-old lady presented with painless blurring of vision over the RE. The blood and urine cultures grew . RE VA was PL, and she was treated for endogenous endophthalmitis. The vitreous culture grew Unfortunately, the RE became phthisical.
