Vibrio parahaemolyticus endophthalmitis

P G Steinkuller, M T Kelly, S J Sands

    Journal of Pediatric Ophthalmology and Strabismus
    |May 1, 1980
    PubMed
    Summary

    A child developed Vibrio parahaemolyticus endophthalmitis after a corneal injury from swimming in the Gulf of Mexico. Greenish eye exudates were noted, highlighting the risk of marine Vibrio infections from saltwater injuries.

    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Infectious Diseases
    • Microbiology

    Background:

    • Marine environments, such as the Gulf of Mexico, harbor various microorganisms.
    • Ocular trauma can create an entry point for pathogens into the eye.

    Observation:

    • A healthy child sustained a perforating corneal injury while swimming.
    • The child subsequently developed endophthalmitis, an infection within the eye.

    Findings:

    • The causative agent was identified as Vibrio parahaemolyticus, a marine bacterium.
    • Distinctive greenish exudates were observed in the anterior chamber and vitreous.

    Implications:

    • Ocular injuries in saltwater environments warrant consideration for marine Vibrio infections.
    • Prompt isolation and identification of marine Vibrio species are crucial for effective treatment.
