  • Title: Late-onset Moraxella catarrhalis endophthalmitis after filtering surgery.
    Author: Lipman RM, Deutsch TA.
    Journal: Can J Ophthalmol; 1992 Aug; 27(5):249-50. PubMed ID: 1393813.
    Abstract:
    We describe a young man in whom endophthalmitis caused by Moraxella catarrhalis developed 5 years after glaucoma filtering surgery. The infection responded to treatment with broad-spectrum antibiotics, and 2 months after presentation the visual acuity had returned to 20/50. To our knowledge this is the first report of late-onset endophthalmitis due to M. catarrhalis complicating glaucoma filtering surgery.
