  • Title: Postoperative pseudophakic bacterial endophthalmitis.
    Author: Zaidman GW, Mondino BJ.
    Journal: Am J Ophthalmol; 1982 Feb; 93(2):218-23. PubMed ID: 6978071.
    Abstract:
    Five patients who had postoperative pseudophakic bacterial endophthalmitis were treated with topical, periocular, and systemic antibiotics. Four patients also received intravitreal antibiotics and oral corticosteroids. The causative organisms were Staphylococcus epidermidis, S. aureus, and Proteus mirabilis. Final visual acuities ranged from 6/7.5 (20/25) to no light perception. Response to treatment and final visual acuity did not appear to be related to retention or removal of the intraocular lens.
