“…Endogenous endophthalmitis, which accounts for 2% to 15% of all endophthalmitis cases, is a dangerous intraocular infection caused by the hematogenous spread of bacterial germs [15][16][17]. Diabetes, cancer, urinary tract infections, intravenous drug misuse, an immunocompromised status, and other potentially life-threatening systemic sources of infection or risk factors for infection are linked to 56 percent to 68 percent of endophthalmitis cases [15,18,19].…”

Purpose The clinical aspects and prognosis of eyes with endogenous endophthalmitis were compared over the last ten years. The occurrence and progression of endophthalmitis are linked to the systemic immune inflammation index (SII) and clinical features. Methods The study comprised patients with endogenous endophthalmitis and 64 patients without endophthalmitis who were treated at Hebei Province Eye Hospital in the last ten years. According to the prognostic visual acuity, patients with endophthalmitis were split into two groups: Group A and Group B. Underlying disease (hypertension, diabetes, tuberculosis), infection risk (liver abscess, urinary tract infection, and recent abdominal surgery), signs and symptoms, and complete blood count were among the evaluation parameters (neutrophil count, lymphocyte count, monocyte count, platelet count, red blood cell distribution width). The NLR, PLR, MLR, and SII values were calculated. A nonparametric test was used to examine the clinical features and complete blood count results of patients in each group. To determine the parameters linked to endophthalmitis progression, researchers used principal component and ordinal logistic regression analyses. Results The study comprised a total of 25 eyes and 22 individuals with endogenous endophthalmitis. Infectious bacteria included Staphylococcus aureus, Micrococcus luteus, Staphylococcus hemolyticus, and so on. The visual acuity of the affected eye ranged from 2.7 (1.55, 2.7) LogMAR to 1.22 (0.6, 2.7) LogMAR during the 6-month to 8-year follow-up period. The neutrophil, monocyte, and PLT counts, NLR, PLR, and SII values and other markers were considerably higher in Groups A and B than in the control group. The likelihood model of the SII and sex, age, onset time, diabetes, hypertension, monocyte count, and red blood cell distribution was the best, and its increase was strongly connected with the occurrence and progression of endophthalmitis, according to ordinal regression analysis. Conclusion Patients with endophthalmitis had significantly higher blood neutrophil, monocyte, and PLT counts and SII, NLR, PLR, and MLR values. The SII can be employed as a biomarker for predicting endophthalmitis severity and prognosis.
