Tubercular retinal vasculitis mimicking frosted branch angiitis: a case report
ConclusionRetinal vasculitis secondary to tubercular etiology may mimic a viral vasculitis; however, a clinical suspicion with a timely diagnosis and management helps in preventing loss of vision and the eye. (Source: Journal of Ophthalmic Inflammation and Infection)

Rothia dentocariosa endophthalmitis following intravitreal injection —a case report
ConclusionRothia dentocariosa is presented as a rare cause of endophthalmitis following intravitreal injection and reports the appearance of ‘pink hypopyon’ previously observed with other organisms. Its identification also demonstrates the risk of oral bacterial contamination during intraocular injections. Vigilance with strategies to minimise bacterial contamination in the peri-injection period are important. Further research to ide ntify additional techniques to prevent contamination with oral bacteria would be beneficial, including whether a role exists for patients wearing surgical masks during intravitreal injecti...

A retrospective cohort study of patients treated with anti-tuberculous therapy for presumed ocular tuberculosis
ConclusionsDespite controversy, this study strongly supports the use of anti-tuberculous therapy in such patients and highlights the need for formal prospective trials and treatment protocols. (Source: Journal of Ophthalmic Inflammation and Infection)

Panuveitis-like reaction following encircling laser retinopexy/cerclage in a 21-year-old male
ConclusionsThe atypically inordinate degree of post-laser inflammation and multiple sequelae following encircling retinopexy/cerclage as retinal detachment prophylaxis, in this case, demonstrate the potency and risks of retinal photocoagulation. The value of pre-laser assessment for potential risk factors, caution and mindfulness in conducting the intervention, and, the value of prudent and thorough follow-up are exhibited in this case.
