[Endogenous Endophthalmitis: Epidemiology, Clinic, Therapy and Visual Outcome].
CONCLUSION: Endogenous endophthalmitis is often misdiagnosed due to a severe underlying non-ophthalmological disease. Delayed presentation with consequent late initiation of therapy is an unresolved problem, because colleagues from other fields are often unexperienced in diagnosing the ocular infection. This is also a cause of the already poor visual prognosis. Ophthalmologists can usually only influence the choice of the proper therapy.
