  • Title: ACTINOMYCES NEUII ENDOPHTHALMITIS AFTER INTRAVITREAL ANTI-VASCULAR ENDOTHELIAL GROWTH FACTOR INJECTION.
    Author: Sahni S, Watson RM, Sheth VS.
    Journal: Retin Cases Brief Rep; ; 11(3):281-282. PubMed ID: 27280342.
    Abstract:
    PURPOSE: To describe a case of acute endophthalmitis caused by Actinomyces neuii after intravitreal anti-vascular endothelial growth factor injection. METHODS: Observational case report, review of published literature. RESULTS: A 67-year-old white man with wet age-related macular degeneration developed endophthalmitis secondary to A. neuii on the 10th day after intravitreal anti-vascular endothelial growth factor injection. Both anterior chamber and vitreous cultures were positive for A. neuii. He was treated successfully with intravitreal injection of vancomycin and ceftazidime. CONCLUSION: This is the first published report of culture-positive endophthalmitis caused by A. neuii after intravitreal injection.
