Endophthalmitis Caused by Enterococcus Faecalis

“…The mean logMAR visual acuity at presentation was 3.19 (hand movements). Like a previous study 6 and in the current study, resistance to gentamicin was identified commonly (50%). Resistance to ceftazidime was reported in 16 of 22 isolates (72.72%).…”

A Case of Endophthalmitis After Bilateral Medial Rectus Recession

“…12 This poor visual outcome is not surprising because visual and anatomical outcomes have been poor in clinical and experimental infections caused by virulent organisms such as Streptococcus species and Gram-negative species, including H. influenzae. [13][14][15][16] Similar to our case, 5 of the 6 reported cases in the Recchia et al 4 series occurred following surgery on the left medial rectus muscle. Surgery on the left medial rectus muscle is theorized to pose more of a surgical challenge for a right-handed surgeon.…”

“…Devastating visual acuity outcome is the rule rather than the exception in cases of endophthalmitis following pediatric strabismus surgery, although there are cases in which patients return to preoperative baseline vision after aggressive treatment 12. This poor visual outcome is not surprising because visual and anatomical outcomes have been poor in clinical and experimental infections caused by virulent organisms such as Streptococcus species and Gram-negative species, including H. influenzae 13–16. Similar to our case, 5 of the 6 reported cases in the Recchia et al4 series occurred following surgery on the left medial rectus muscle.…”
