Clinical and visual outcomes following endogenous endophthalmitis: 175 consecutive cases from a tertiary referral center in Taiwan

CONCLUSION: Our study demonstrated that liver abscess is the most common source of endogenous endophthalmitis in Taiwan. The visual outcome is good when the presenting visual acuity is relatively well preserved and when the infecting organism is fungus. The use of intra-vitreal antibiotics reduces the risk of enucleation.PMID:33610510 | DOI:10.1016/j.jmii.2021.01.010
