Abstract
INTRODUCTION Pediatric infectious endophthalmitis is a rare, severe ocular infection that can have devastating consequences. It may be exogenous or endogenous, with exogenous endophthalmitis being more common. Current data on the etiology, microbiology, antibiotic treatments and outcomes in pediatric cases is limited. PURPOSE To summarize the etiology, microbiology, visual outcomes and management of pediatric endophthalmitis. METHODS A literature review was conducted on cases of pediatric endophthalmitis published from 1980 to 2022, identified through searches of PubMed, Medline, Web of Science and Google Scholar databases. RESULTS A total of 796 patients were included. Ocular trauma was the most common cause with 623 patients (78.3%), followed by posteye surgery with 100 patients (12.6%) and endogenous endophthalmitis with 67 patients (70 eyes) (8.4%). Among culture-positive cases, gram-positive microorganisms predominated. Treatment involved pars plana vitrectomy in 608 patients (76%) and intraocular antibiotics in 590 patients (74%). Favorable visual acuity (≥20/200) was achieved in 30.5% of patients, 20% had no light perception and 12.5% developed poor anatomical outcomes with phthisis bulbi. CONCLUSION Our review provides insights into the etiology, epidemiology, microbiology, treatment and visual outcomes of pediatric endophthalmitis based on available literature worldwide.

Abstract
PURPOSE To study the epidemiology and microbiological landscape in patients (≤21 yrs) diagnosed with endophthalmitis across a multi-tier ophthalmology network in India. METHODS This cross-sectional hospital-based study included 1,041 patients (≤21 yrs) diagnosed with endophthalmitis, between April 2012 and May 2022. The data were collected using an electronic medical record system. RESULTS Bacteria (24%) was the most common etiology followed by fungus (2%). The majority of the patients were male (66%) with a mean age of 8.37 ± 5.99 years. The most common age group was middle childhood (6-11 years) with 365 (35.06%) patients. The patients were more commonly from the lower socio-economic status (60.81%) and urban geography (49%). The common cause of endophthalmitis was trauma (59.33%) and amongst the 279 culture positive eyes, the predominant bacteria isolated was Streptococcus pneumoniae followed by Bacillus species and fungus included predominantly Aspergillus and Candida species. The most common surgical intervention performed was intraocular antibiotics (74%) followed by pars plana vitrectomy (52%). CONCLUSION The most common etiology of endophthalmitis in children is bacterial and traumatic in nature and presented from the lower socio-economic status. A half of the eyes warranted a vitreo-retinal surgical intervention. .

Abstract
AIMS To characterize the clinical features of ocular trauma resulting from lawn mower, identify determinants of unfavorable final visual acuity (FVA), and assess the spectrum of microbial in posttraumatic endophthalmitis. METHODS This retrospective study enrolled patients who experienced ocular trauma due to lawn mower at Zhongshan Ophthalmic Center from January 2013 to August 2021. Demographics, clinical features, isolated microorganisms, risk factors influencing reduced visual acuity, treatment regimens, and utilization of eyewear were collected. RESULTS The study included 140 participants (140 eyes) (49.47 ± 12.03 years, 95% male). The predominant injury manifestations were penetrating globe injuries (75.7%) and intraocular foreign bodies (51.4%). Endophthalmitis occurred in 35 cases (25%) and Bacillus cereus (23.5%) was the primary pathogen, followed by Staphylococcus epidermidis (11.8%) and Streptococcus species (11.8%). Following the initial assessment, where 77.9% of patients had initial visual acuity (IVA) at grade IV (ranging from light perception to 4/200) and only 0.7% attained grade I (better than 20/40), post-treatment results revealed that 5.7% achieved FVA at grade I, with a concurrent decrease in patients with grade IV vision to 64.3%. Multivariate logistic regression revealed that injury protection (p < 0.001, OR = 0.237, 95% CI = 0.126-0.446), IVA (p = 0.001, OR = 4.102, 95% CI = 1.730-9.729), and retinal detachment (p = 0.042, OR = 8.105, 95% CI = 1.075-61.111) were significant independent risk factors impacting FVA. CONCLUSION Lawn mower often cause severe ocular injuries, with high-velocity metal foreign bodies that can lead to infections, most commonly caused by Bacillus cereus. Correct use of protective gear, initial vision assessment, and detecting retinal detachment are crucial for visual prognosis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Describing the pattern of pediatric eye diseases is necessary for appropriate eye care in children. This study explored the spectrum and characteristics of pediatric ophthalmic diseases in a typical tertiary ophthalmology hospital in China. METHODS A retrospective study was conducted at a tertiary ophthalmology hospital between 2010 and 2019 in Guangzhou, China. This study included 44,552 inpatients who were younger than 18 years old. Demographic and diagnostic data were collected from the electronic medical record system. Multiphase regression analysis was used to estimate trends in the annual percentages of ten common ophthalmic diseases. RESULTS From 2010 to 2019, 44,552 inpatients met the inclusion criteria. The majority were male (61.9%), aged 7 to 12 years (30.3%) and self-paying (56.6%). The top ten conditions were refractive error (41.2%), strabismus (36.1%), cataract (13.6%), trauma (11.8%), congenital ptosis (8.8%), tumor (8.1%), amblyopia (7.1%), glaucoma (7.0%), entropion and trichiasis of eyelid (7.0%), and retinal detachment (6.5%). The annual percentage changes (APCs) for refractive error, strabismus, and retinal detachment were 9.3% (95% CI, 8.1-10.5%), 4.7% (95% CI, 3.8-5.6%) and - 2.8% (95% CI, - 5.1% to - 0.4%) respectively. For trauma, the average APC (AAPC = -9.2%, (95% CI, - 12.1% to - 6.2%) decreased gradually from 2010 to 2015 (APC = -4.2% (95% CI, - 8.8-0.7%)) and decreased rapidly from 2015 to 2019 (APC = -15.1% (95% CI, - 21.0% to - 8.7%)). CONCLUSIONS Pediatric ophthalmic diseases are common in China. Preventive strategies and health education aimed at the prevention of refractive error, strabismus, and entropion and trichiasis of eyelid will be crucial in reducing the burden of pediatric ophthalmic diseases on health care systems and human development.

Abstract
Purpose To describe the etiology and spectrum of isolated pathogens in endophthalmitis over 10 years from an ophthalmic hospital in North China and report their antimicrobial susceptibilities. Patients and Methods The data covered the patients with endophthalmitis treated at Qingdao Eye Hospital from January 2011 to December 2020. Patients’ medical history, pathogenic factors, bacterial and fungal culture results of intraocular specimens, and in vitro drug sensitivity test results were assessed. Results A total of 524 cases were counted in this study. Exogenous endophthalmitis was the main component, accounting for 94.66%, of which 49.62% of eyes had a history of ophthalmic trauma, intraocular surgery in 26.72% and suppurative keratitis in 17.37%. By comparison, endogenous endophthalmitis was found in only 5.34% of eyes. Among the 292 strains of pathogenic organisms obtained by co-culture, gram-positive bacteria accounted for 64.04%, with Staphylococcus epidermidis as the predominant pathogen (29.45%). Gram-positive cocci were identified in 76.77% of eyes with traumatic endophthalmitis, while 53.70% of keratitis-associated endophthalmitis was caused by fungi. The high susceptibility of bacteria to vancomycin (77.78%~98.33%) supported its continued use as empirical treatment. Among the fluoroquinolones, gram-positive cocci showed a higher susceptibility to gatifloxacin (94.83%), while there was a significant decrease to levofloxacin (51.67%). Gram-negative bacteria were less sensitive to cephalosporins (45.95%~66.67%) than fluoroquinolones (68.42%~78.05%) and aminoglycosides (75.00%~78.05%). Fungal susceptibilities to voriconazole and amphotericin B were 90.16% and 70.31% respectively. More than half of the 11 antibiotics were observed to exhibit a trend of reduced susceptibility. Conclusion Ophthalmic trauma was the primary pathogenic factor of endophthalmitis. Gram-positive cocci were the most common pathogens of traumatic and postoperative endophthalmitis, while suppurative keratitis-associated endophthalmitis often resulted from fungal pathogens. Levofloxacin as the preferred antibiotic in the perioperative period and cephalosporin as the first-line drug for the treatment of empiric endophthalmitis need to be vigilant.

Abstract
Purpose To analyze the clinical characteristics of trauma-dominant orbital cellulitis (OC) and evaluate the risk factors associated with evisceration. Methods This retrospective study included inpatients diagnosed with orbital cellulitis at the Zhongshan Ophthalmic Center between January 2010 and December 2020. The demographic features, etiology, clinical characteristics, microbiological isolates, and risk factors associated with evisceration were analyzed. Results Among 148 consecutive subjects (n = 148, 148 eyes), the mean age was 42.07 ± 20.35 years and 70.27% were male. Penetrating globe injuries were the most common (52.03%). No light perception (NLP) was recorded in 50% of patients on admission. Endophthalmitis was observed in 103 cases (69.59%), intraocular foreign bodies (IOFB) were detected in 43 cases (29.05%), and total corneal melting was observed in 31 cases (20.95%). Sixty patients (40.54%) underwent evisceration. Logistic regression analysis showed that total corneal dissolution [odds ratio (OR) = 83.019, P = 0.000], IOFB (OR = 3.402, P = 0.016), and NLP (OR = 0.185, P = 0.001) were risk factors for evisceration. Microorganism detection showed that Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Bacillus cereus were the leading pathogens. Conclusion Among hospitalized trauma-dominant OC patients, middle-aged men were the major subjects and penetrating globe injury was the major cause. Significant complications such as complete visual loss and evisceration were unavoidable in many patients with OC in the current study. NLP, IOFB, and total corneal melting were the risk factors for evisceration.

Abstract
PURPOSE To investigate the utility of metagenomic next-generation sequencing (mNGS) in identifying the pathogens in endophthalmitis. METHODS In this prospective study, 36 cases of endophthalmitis were recruited. All patients received surgical treatment and intraocular drug lavage. The samples of vitreous or aqueous humor were extracted for mNGS and microbiological culture. The diagnostic performance of pathogens was compared between mNGS and culture. RESULTS The positive rates of mNGS and culture were 88.89% (32/36) and 27.78% (10/36), respectively. There was a statistically significant difference between mNGS and culture (Chi-square = 27.657; P < 0.01). Staphylococcus epidermidis, Streptococcus pneumoniae, and Klebsiella pneumoniae were the most pathogenic bacteria in traumatic, postoperative, and endogenous endophthalmitis, respectively. The concordance of pathogen identified by mNGS and culture was 70% for culture-positive cases. Antibiotic resistance genes were identified in 9 cases. There was a marginal correlation between the final visual acuity and the microbial sequence read (Spearman correlation coefficient = 0.498; P = 0.05). CONCLUSION Metagenomic next-generation sequencing has a higher positive rate of identifying pathogens in endophthalmitis than in culture. It can also provide information on antibiotic resistance and visual prognosis. However, caution must be taken when interpreting the results of mNGS because they may not be concordant with culture.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES Streptococcus is a common cause of post-traumatic endophthalmitis in children. This study aimed to analyse the clinical features, antibiotic susceptibilities and outcomes of traumatic endophthalmitis caused by streptococcus in preschool children. SUBJECTS/METHODS Patients aged ≤6 years with traumatic streptococcal endophthalmitis seen at Zhongshan Ophthalmic Center between January 2013 and December 2018 were included in this retrospective study. RESULTS In total, 21 patients (21 eyes) were included. The mean age of the patients was 3.3 ± 1.7 years, where 57.1% were males. Scissors (28.6%, n = 6) were the most common cause of injury; 86.7% of patients were injured at home. Zone I (80.9%) was the most common wound site; 90.5% of patients presented with a traumatic cataract. In general, Streptococcus pneumoniae (47.6%) was the most common isolate. Viridans group streptococci accounted for 58.3% of cases in children aged 0-3 years, while S. pneumoniae accounted for 66.7% of cases in children aged 4-6 years. The susceptibility rates of streptococcus to cefuroxime, levofloxacin and ofloxacin were 100%, 95.0% and 90.5%, respectively. Although all the patients underwent vitrectomy combined with silicone oil tamponade, the final visual outcomes were no better than counting fingers. CONCLUSIONS Although S. pneumoniae was the most prevalent organism in general, the dominant species varied between different age groups. The commonly used antibiotics, cefuroxime and fluoroquinolone, showed higher antibiotic susceptibility. Despite prompt treatment, the visual outcomes of paediatric post-traumatic endophthalmitis in preschool children were poor.

Abstract
Bacterial endophthalmitis is an intraocular infection that causes rapid vison loss. Pathogens can infect the intraocular space directly (exogenous endophthalmitis (ExE)) or indirectly (endogenous endophthalmitis (EnE)). To identify predictive factors for the visual prognosis of Japanese patients with bacterial endophthalmitis, we retrospectively examined the bacterial endophthalmitis characteristics of 314 Japanese patients and performed statistics using these clinical data. Older patients, with significantly more severe clinical symptoms, were prevalent in the ExE group compared with the EnE group. However, the final best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) was not significantly different between the ExE and EnE groups. Bacteria isolated from patients were not associated with age, sex, or presence of eye symptoms. Genus Streptococcus, Streptococcus pneumoniae, and Enterococcus were more prevalent in ExE patients than EnE patients and contributed to poor final BCVA. The presence of eye pain, bacterial identification, and poor BCVA at baseline were risk factors for final visual impairment.
