Endogenous Bacterial Endophthalmitis

Purpose. To determine the clinical features, microbial profiles, treatment outcomes, and prognostic factors for endogenous bacterial endophthalmitis (EBE).Methods. The medical records of 27 eyes of 21 patients diagnosed with EBE for 11 years were reviewed. Collected data included age, site of infection, visual acuities (VAs), microbial profiles, and treatment regimen.Results. The mean age was 68.5 years. Gram-positive organisms accounted for 76.2%, while gram-negative ones accounted for 19.0%.Staphylococcus aureuswas the most common causative organism (52.3%) of which 72.7% wasmethicillin-resistant S. aureus. A final VA of ≥20/40 was achieved in 44% and 20/200 or better was in 64%. Eyes with initial VA of ≥20/200 (P= 0.003) and focal involvements (P= 0.011) had significantly better final VA. Initial VA (P= 0.001) and the interval between onset of ocular symptoms and intravitreal antibiotic injection (P= 0.097) were associated with final VA in eyes receiving intravitreal antibiotics.Conclusions. EBE is generally associated with poor visual outcome; however the prognosis may depend on initial VA, extent of ocular involvement, and an interval between onset of ocular symptoms and intravitreal antibiotic injection. Early diagnosis and early intravitreal injection supplement to systemic antibiotics might lead to a relatively good visual outcome.

AbstractObjective:We report an extremely rare case of nasopharyngeal carcinoma presenting as a lateral neck abscess complicated by endogenous bacterial endophthalmitis. Endogenous bacterial endophthalmitis complicating a neck abscess has not been reported in the recent English literature. We discuss the possible pathophysiology of neck abscess as a presenting feature of nasopharyngeal carcinoma, and the relationship between the parapharyngeal abscess and endogenous bacterial endophthalmitis.Case report:A middle-aged Chinese man presented with a left neck abscess associated with progressive vision deterioration and proptosis of the left eye. Incidentally, his random blood glucose was found to be elevated. Nasal endoscopy also revealed bilateral bogginess in the fossa of Rosenmuller. A diagnosis of left neck abscess with endogenous endophthalmitis associated with underlying diabetes mellitus was made. A computed tomography scan of the neck showed a left parapharyngeal abscess. Incision and drainage of the abscess together with biopsy of the nasopharynx was performed. Due to the non-salvageable condition of the left eye, evisceration was also performed. Pus culture studies from the neck abscess grew Klebsiella pneumoniae, and nasopharyngeal biopsy revealed undifferentiated carcinoma.Conclusion:Nasopharyngeal carcinoma is endemic in South East Asia and can have multiple, varied presentations. Therefore, in this setting, the clinician should have a high index of suspicion, especially in a patient from the Chinese ethnic group.
