Analysis of treatment results of endophthalmitis patients accordingto the data from the City Ophthalmology Center for 2014-2015

Aim. To estimate development terms, visual functions upon hospital admission and discharge, and medical and surgical treatment results of different types of endophthalmitis. Materials and methods. Data of 40 patients who received treatment for postoperative, endogenous, and posttraumatic endophthalmitis were studied. The mean age of patients was 61 years. Results and discussion. Patients with postoperative endophthalmitis have higher baseline visual acuity, and emergency vitrectomy is a method of choice. Patients with endogenous severe endophthalmitis need enucleation more often. Intravitreal antibiotic injection does not always cause an improvement in endophthalmitis, but could be used as an adjunct to systemic therapy or as a measure in anticipation of vitrectomy
