Endogenous Endophthalmitis in an Urban University Setting: Characteristics, Treatment, and Outcomes

Abstract: Purpose: This work describes the characteristics, treatment, and outcomes of endogenous endophthalmitis (EE) cases over 13 years at a tertiary care hospital. Methods: This retrospective case series included EE cases from 2006 to 2018. Eyes were categorized by cultured organism and initial treatment status. Results: Forty-five eyes of 38 patients were identified with EE. Mean age was 48 ± 12 years and approximately three-fourths were male. Mean visual acuity (VA) at presentation was logMAR 1.86 ± 0.83.

“…We previously published a 13-year (2006–2018) retrospective consecutive case series of EE in 45 eyes of 38 patients. 21 Of the cases, 29% were fungal, 56% were gram positive, and 13% were gram negative. Of those gram-negative infections, Klebsiella EE (KEE) was noted in only 7.8% of all EE cases.…”
