[An analysis of bacterial culture results in infectious endophthalmitis]
1Zhongshan Ophthalmic Center, Sun Yat-sen University of Medical Sciences, Guangzhou 510060, China.
Objective:
To study the changes of positive rate of bacterial culture of vitreous specimens from patients with infectious endophthalmitis during the past ten years and search for sensitive antibiotics for its treatment.
Methods:
Vitreous specimens were taken from 304 eyes of 304 cases with clinically diagnosed infectious endophthalmitis for bacterial culture, and drug sensitivity test was carried out for the positive specimens.
Results:
Bacterial positive rate was 53% with insignificant changes among the different years. Cefoperazone was the most sensitive antibiotic.
Conclusion:
Bacterial culture combined with drug sensitivity test of vitreous specimens is important in guiding the treatment of infectious endophthalmitis.
