    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Infectious Diseases

    Background:

    • Growth-onset diabetes is a risk factor for various complications.
    • Vitreous lavage is a surgical procedure used in ophthalmology.

    Observation:

    • A 29-year-old male with diabetes experienced severe pain 36 hours post-vitreous lavage.
    • The patient rapidly developed fulminant endophthalmitis.

    Findings:

    • Despite prompt administration of systemic antibiotics, therapeutic vitrectomy, lensectomy, and intraocular antibiotics, the infection progressed.
    • The patient's eye was lost 48 hours after the initial surgery.

    Implications:

    • This case highlights the aggressive nature of endophthalmitis in diabetic patients.
    • Early recognition and aggressive management are crucial, but may not always prevent severe outcomes.

  • Further research into preventative strategies for post-operative endophthalmitis in diabetic patients is warranted.
