Abstract:
This article presents a case of endophthalmitis after intravitreal injection with bevacizumab (Avastin®) in a patient suffering from exudative age-related macular degeneration (AMD). Within 1h after diagnosis the patient underwent vitrectomy with intravitreal injection of antibiotics combined with corticosteroids and 4 weeks after the endophthalmitis the visual acuity increased to 0.5. This case report demonstrates that an immediate vitrectomy combining intravitreal injection of medication can lead to a good visual outcome even in the case of severe endophthalmitis.
