Endophthalmitis following Suture Removal - Clinical Outcomes and Microbiological Profile.

CONCLUSIONS: Endophthalmitis following suture removal though rare, is observed most commonly in the pediatric population and has an acute and a fulminant course. Streptococcus pneumoniae was the most commonly isolated microorganism. Visual acuity outcomes were poor despite prompt recognition of endophthalmitis and appropriate antibiotic therapy.
