Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the clinical presentations, diagnostic approaches, and management strategies for infectious endophthalmitis.
  • To emphasize the importance of timely diagnosis and appropriate therapy.

Main Methods:

  • Review of clinical settings, diagnostic methods, and treatment protocols for endophthalmitis.
  • Highlighting the critical role of intraocular fluid/tissue biopsy for definitive diagnosis and treatment.

Main Results:

  • Infectious endophthalmitis is a serious ophthalmic surgical complication with variable presentations.
  • Intraocular biopsy is the gold standard for diagnosis and guiding treatment.

Conclusions:

  • Timely diagnosis and prompt, appropriate therapy are essential for managing infectious endophthalmitis.
  • Understanding diverse clinical presentations and utilizing biopsy are key to successful outcomes.
