  • Infectious Diseases

Context:

  • Chronic postoperative endophthalmitis is a rare but serious complication following cataract surgery.
  • Propionibacterium species are a common cause of this delayed-onset infection.

Purpose:

  • To report on the diagnosis and treatment of chronic postoperative endophthalmitis.
  • To evaluate the effectiveness of a combined surgical and antibiotic approach.

Summary:

  • Three cases of chronic postoperative endophthalmitis following cataract surgery are presented.
  • Propionibacterium species were identified in two cases, with symptom onset an average of 5 months post-surgery.
  • Treatment involved pars plana vitrectomy, intravitreal antibiotics, intraocular lens explantation, and total capsulectomy.
