  • Title: Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus endophthalmitis after phacoemulsification in a continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis patient.
    Author: Tang HH, Yip PP, Woo CF, Ho CK, Que TL.
    Journal: J Cataract Refract Surg; 2008 Oct; 34(10):1806-8. PubMed ID: 18812138.
    Abstract:
    We report a case of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) endophthalmitis after phacoemulsification in a continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) patient with a history of MRSA infection. This case raised the problem of preoperative identification and subsequent management of MRSA carrier status, which might reduce the risk for sight- or life-threatening infection.
