Bacterial Endophthalmitis After Closed Vitrectomy

Postoperative Endophthalmitis among Diabetic and Non-Diabetic Patients: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis

“…Previous investigations revealed that diabetic patients exhibited a higher incidence rate of endophthalmitis of 18.5% compared to an incidence rate of 5.7% in non-diabetic patients (6). Similar consistent results of a higher incidence rate of endophthalmitis among diabetic patients were reported (21,22). A meta-analysis from this study indicated a signi cantly higher incidence rate of exogenous endophthalmitis among diabetic patients compared to non-diabetic patients following intraocular procedures.…”

A review of endophthalmitis following vitrectomy

“…Other studies have yielded more cases of endophthalmitis following vitrectomy since larger numbers of operations were retrospectively reviewed [31][32][33][34][35][36]. Despite several years of observation, only a handful of cases are observed, not only owing to the rarity of the complication, but also owing to the study area being relatively small and the concern that with retrospective review cases are missed.…”

“…Secondly, if the operation is for proliferative diabetic retinopathy requiring challenging procedures such as delamination, the operation is likely to be longer with more instruments passing in and out of the eye and therefore locally increasing the risk of infection directly. There is a recurrent trend in several studies where the proportion of patients with endophthalmitis following vitrectomy are more likely to have diabetes than the proportion of the study sample itself -see Table 5 [ [31][32][33][34][35][36][39][40][41]43]. However, in the same study set, these cases are not compared with controls (patients having vitrectomy but not getting endophthalmitis), so no clear statistically significant link between diabetes and endophthalmitis has been demonstrated.…”

Bacteriological Study of 92 Cases of Proven Infectious Endophthalmitis Treated with Pars plana Vitrectomy

“…Postvitrectomy en dophthalmitis is a real disaster [4], No single case could be cured. Here too, 2 cases due to S. epidermidis were lost.…”
