Infectious endophthalmitis, a severe eye infection, often follows surgery or trauma. Prompt treatment with antibiotics is crucial for managing this condition and preserving vision.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Infectious Diseases

Background:

  • Infectious endophthalmitis is a severe intraocular infection with a poor visual prognosis.
  • It can be exogenous, resulting from surgery (62%) or trauma (20%), or endogenous via hematogenous spread (8%).

Purpose of the Study:

  • To summarize the causes, clinical presentation, and management of infectious endophthalmitis.

Main Methods:

  • Review of literature on infectious endophthalmitis.
  • Analysis of etiological factors, clinical signs, and treatment modalities.

Main Results:

  • Exogenous endophthalmitis is more common, primarily linked to ocular surgery and trauma.
  • Key symptoms include blurred vision, redness, and pain, with characteristic clinical signs observed during examination.

  • Treatment involves a multi-route antibiotic approach combined with corticosteroids.

    • Conclusions:

    • Infectious endophthalmitis requires urgent diagnosis and management.
    • Aggressive treatment with intravitreal and systemic antibiotics, alongside corticosteroids, is essential for visual recovery.
