Abstract:
Endophthalmitis after a glaucoma drainage implant is uncommon. In a case series of drainage implant-associated endophthalmitis, tube exposure was present in all cases.(1) Among the organisms cultured from these eyes was Haemophilus influenzae. After the introduction of the H. influenzae type b vaccine, infections related to this bacterium dramatically decreased in children. We report a case of late-onset H. influenzae endophthalmitis in an immunized child after bilateral glaucoma drainage implants without evidence of conjunctival erosion or wound dehiscence.
