Loss of sight is one of the most severe disabling factors in human. The total number of such people is known to account for millions worldwide. In North America alone more than 1 million are completely blind and about 14 million have some degree of sight loss. There are many different diseases that lead to sight loss such as diabetic retinopathy, senile macular degeneration, various types of autoimmune retinopathy, optic nerves damage and many others. As a rule, they cannot be corrected with glasses, and not always amenable to drug therapy. Often the cause of these diseases is accumulation of various autoantibodies and other metabolites, the molecules large size of which does not allow them to be excreted by the kidneys and the fact of their accumulation indicates impossibility of their removal with help of drug therapy. It makes us resort to such method of their direct removal from the body as plasmapheresis and the aim of this study is to justify its use in ophthalmology.

SUMMARYA 64-year-old woman with chronic right arm lymphoedema presented with progressive and painful vision loss in the right eye following diagnosis of erysipelas in the ipsilateral arm. Visual acuity was light perception. Biomicroscopy revealed marked conjunctival injection, decreased corneal transparency and an inflammatory mass in the anterior chamber, which precluded fundoscopy. The ocular ultrasonography features were consistent with acute endophthalmitis, and the patient was admitted to the hospital. A systemic evaluation, including complete physical examination, echocardiography and blood tests, ruled out other sources of infection besides the cutaneous site. Blood cultures were positive for group A Streptococcus. A diagnosis of unilateral acute endophthalmitis due to group A Streptococcus bacteraemia secondary to erysipelas was made and successfully treated with optimal medical care, including prompt intravitreal and systemic antibiotic administration. Despite resolution of the infectious process, visual acuity did not improve. BACKGROUND
