Chronic Staphylococcus aureus endophthalmitis requires prompt treatment. Intravitreal antibiotics and steroids are crucial for chronic postoperative inflammation unresponsive to initial high-dose steroids.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Infectious Diseases
  • Microbiology

Background:

  • Postoperative endophthalmitis can present with varied clinical courses.
  • Staphylococcus aureus is a common causative agent, often associated with acute, severe presentations.

Observation:

  • A patient presented with a chronic, rather than fulminant, course of Staphylococcus aureus endophthalmitis.
  • Initial management with high-dose steroids, lensectomy, and vitrectomy proved ineffective.

Findings:

  • The chronic endophthalmitis ultimately required treatment with intravitreal antibiotics and steroids.
  • Intraocular cultures were essential for guiding targeted antimicrobial therapy.

Implications:

  • Consider intraocular cultures and subsequent intravitreal antibiotic injection for chronic postoperative inflammation unresponsive to high-dose steroids.

  • This approach may be vital for managing atypical presentations of bacterial endophthalmitis.
  • Early consideration of targeted intravitreal therapy can improve outcomes in refractory cases.
