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
Endogenous endophthalmitis represents an ophthalmological emergency requiring immediate diagnostics and treatment. Pathogens should be detected using appropriate methods, such as the Freiburg endophthalmitis set. In bacterial endophthalmitis both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria can be detected. Frequent underlying sources include endocarditis, gastrointestinal or urogenital surgery, indwelling venous catheters, liver abscesses, skin or soft tissue infections, meningitis or less commonly, intravenous drug abuse. The treatment consists of systemic and intraocular administration of antibiotics and vitrectomy. Systemic or intraocular corticosteroids can additionally be considered.

Abstract
PURPOSE We investigated potential predictive factors for visual prognosis in Japanese patients with endogenous endophthalmitis. DESIGN Retrospective observational multicenter cohort study. METHODS We examined the characteristics of 77 Japanese patients with endogenous endophthalmitis and performed statistical analyses of these real-world data. The primary endpoint was the identification of factors associated with visual prognosis. We examined differences between patients in the better vision and legal blindness groups at 12 weeks after treatment initiation. RESULTS The five risk factors for visual impairment at 12 weeks after treatment initiation were presence of pressure injuries, severe clinical symptoms (presence of eye pain and ciliary injection), pathogen identification, and poor best-corrected visual acuity at baseline. Staphylococcus aureus and fungus were associated with a better visual impairment outcome. CONCLUSIONS Endogenous endophthalmitis remains a severe ocular infection; however, it can be managed with rapid treatments, as well as other advances in medical knowledge and technology.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Pyogenic liver abscess (PLA) is a common surgical infectious disease caused by various pathogens. Klebsiella pneumoniae is a relatively recent cause, often affecting patients with low immunity. Endogenous endophthalmitis (EE), a rare and serious complication of PLA, may appear with eye symptoms before PLA. By reviewing a case of Klebsiella pneumoniae-induced PLA complicated with EE, we want to summarize the information about the characteristics, causes, and complications of PLA based on the literature review. METHODS This case report describes a 37-year-old male who had fever high to 39°C for 10 days experienced blurred vision followed by nonlight perception vision. He reported a history of diabetes irregularly taking oral medications and insulin therapy. Imaging examination found a large low-density area in the right lobe of the liver with an unclear border and vague surrounding fat gap. The blood culture was not positive. The culture of the drainage fluid from the liver puncture showed Klebsiella pneumonia. Blood and liver puncture drainage fluid were sent for microbial high-throughput gene detection with next-generation sequencing technology (NGS), which confirmed the diagnosis of Klebsiella pneumoniae-induced PLA complicated with EE. RESULTS The patient's surgical incision had healed well at discharge, and he could feel light at his left eye. But the patient was lost to follow-up since the third month after discharge. CONCLUSION By reviewing this case and summarize the information about the characteristics, causes, and complications of PLA based on the literature review, we concluded that it is necessary to promptly perform liver puncture drainage and empirically use antibiotics for patients with PLA, especially those with poor glycemic control, to avoid serious complications such as EE.

Abstract
Endophthalmitis is an ophthalmological emergency requiring timely and appropriate diagnosis and treatment. Microbiological methods of microscopy (Gram's staining) and culture are the current gold standard for organism identification. However, a significant proportion of endophthalmitis remains culture-negative-perhaps the inflammation is non-infectious in origin, results from a novel organism are unidentifiable or because the causative organism is non-culturable often due to pre-treatment with antibiotics. This review outlines the microbiological profile of endophthalmitis, current clinically used methods for organism identification, and the newer molecular techniques of polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and next-generation sequencing (NGS) technology as diagnostic tools for endophthalmitis. They offer the potential to improve organism identification rates and clinical outcomes in infectious diseases, representing an exciting future direction for organism identification in endophthalmitis. Based on the largest ophthalmic hospital in Australia, we highlight the key practical challenges faced by Australian diagnostic laboratories for their use in a clinical setting.

Impact of silicone oil tamponade on intravitreally injected vancomycin pharmacokinetics in cynomolgus monkey eyes. Int J Pharm 2021; 609:121185. [PMID: 34655708 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijpharm.2021.121185] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/02/2021] [Revised: 09/26/2021] [Accepted: 10/10/2021] [Indexed: 11/23/2022]
Abstract
Intravitreal injections of vancomycin (VCM) and ceftazidime (CAZ) are commonly used to treat infectious endophthalmitis. When patient cases require retinal detachment with silicone oil (SO) tamponade, the antibiotic doses are empirically reduced to 25 %. Currently, there is no scientific evidence for these empirical dose reductions. The purpose of the present study is to determine the quantitative impact that SO tamponades have on intraocular VCM pharmacokinetics. Because of high invasiveness of frequent sampling of intraocular VCM concentrations in human, this pharmacokinetic study was performed in cynomolgus monkey's eyes. Population pharmacokinetic modeling and simulation were performed using 75 different intraocular VCM concentrations obtained from 8 male cynomolgus monkeys. A one-compartment model with a first-order diffusion rate was used as a structural pharmacokinetic model. From the covariate analysis, SO tamponade significantly decreased the volume of distribution while pars plana vitrectomy with lensectomy (PPV) significantly increased the clearance and diffusion rate constants. From the Monte Carlo simulation (n = 1,000), the median time above minimum inhibitory concentration (T>MIC, a therapeutic effect index) durations of SO and normal eyes at clinical doses of 1,000 µg were 2.6 and 11.0 days, respectively. Using intravitreal injections of VCM with SO tamponade or PPV may reduce the therapeutic effect.

Abstract
To evaluate a 10-year visual outcome of endogenous endophthalmitis (EE) patients. A 10-year retrospective chart review of EE patients. Thirty-eight patients (40 eyes) were diagnosed with EE at the mean age of 42. Among the identifiable pathogens (71.1% culture positive), the causative agents were predominantly gram-negative bacteria (48.1%). The most common specie was Klebsiella pneumoniae (25.9%). About a quarter of the patients required surgical eye removal, and the remaining 45.7% had visual acuity (VA) worse than hand motion at one month after the infectious episode. The most common complication was ocular hypertension (52.5%). Poor initial VA was significantly associated with a worse visual outcome in the early post-treatment period (p 0.12, adjusted OR 10.20, 95% CI 1.65–62.96). Five patients continued to visit the clinic for at least ten years. One patient had gained his vision from hand motion to 6/7.5. Two patients had visual deterioration, one from corneal decompensation, and the other from chronic retinal re-detachment. Two patients developed phthisis bulbi, with either some VA perception of light or no light perception. Poor initial VA is the only prognostic factor of a poor early post-treatment visual outcome of EE.

Abstract
Topic: To focus on endogenous endophthalmitis management, particularly etiology-based medical and surgical therapy.Methods: Literature search of published studies from July 1990 to February 2019 on endogenous endophthalmitis available on PubMed was made without any language constraints.Results: A total of 78 articles were retrieved from 728 initially analyzed and 62 studies were included. Although the superiority of vitrectomy over tap and inject techniques is controversial, the most recent publications favor an early surgical approach for endogenous endophthalmitis. Vitrectomy is useful in severe cases complicated by marked vitreous opacity, retinal detachment, poor initial visual acuity, and more virulent pathogens. Oral or intravenous antibiotics are also necessary to treat systemic infection. Vitrectomy is superior to blood cultures in diagnosing the etiology of infection.Conclusions: Endogenous endophthalmitis is an important cause of visual acuity impairment. Prompt treatment with appropriate use of pharmacological or surgical therapy is mandatory to preserve visual function.Abbreviations: IOP: intra-ocular pressure; AIDS: acquired immune deficiency syndrome; EVS: endophthalmitis vitrectomy study; CEVE: complete and early vitrectomy for endophthalmitis.

Abstract
Objective Intended to investigate the epidemiological characteristics, risk factors and incidence trend of endophthalmitis after cataract surgery in recent 12 years. Methods A retrospective study was conducted on the patients who underwent cataract surgery in Qingdao Eye Hospital from January 1, 2008, to December 31, 2019, including age, sex, history of diabetes, intraoperative operation and complications. In addition, the related risk factors and incidence trend of acute infective endophthalmitis were analyzed. The incidence of endophthalmitis and its related factors were analyzed by univariate and multivariate logistic regression analysis. Results A total of 55,612 cases of cataract surgery were performed in our hospital in 12 years, and 42 cases of acute infective endophthalmitis occurred (the incidence rate was 0.076%). The average occurrence time was 10.57 days ± 11.17, with eye pain as the main complaint and anterior chamber fibrin exudation as the main clinical manifestation. In addition, there were eight cases of anterior chamber hypopyon and 18 cases of vitreous reaction, the results of anterior aqueous humor or vitreous fluid culture in 10 patients were positive. Univariate analysis showed that intraoperative rupture of posterior capsule, non-use of antibiotics and non-use of behind-the-lens washout were the risk factors of infectious endophthalmitis after cataract surgery (P=0.032, P=0.000, P=0.000). Besides, multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that intraoperative rupture of posterior capsule was the main risk factor. Conclusion The occurrence of endophthalmitis after cataract surgery is mainly related to intraoperative rupture of posterior capsule, absence of antibiotics and behind-the-lens washout. In addition, the incidence of endophthalmitis after cataract surgery decreased during the past 12 years.

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.

Endogenous endophthalmitis caused by group B streptococcus; case reports and review of 35 reported cases. BMC Ophthalmol 2020; 20:126. [PMID: 32234022 PMCID: PMC7110777 DOI: 10.1186/s12886-020-01378-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/31/2019] [Accepted: 03/09/2020] [Indexed: 11/22/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Group B streptococcus (GBS), a gram-positive coccus that occasionally causes neonatal sepsis or invasive infection in the elderly, has been considered a rare cause of endogenous bacterial endophthalmitis (EBE). However, the number of invasive GBS infections is increasing, particularly in elderly patients with underlying conditions such as diabetes mellitus (DM), cardiovascular disease and cancer. We report 6 cases of EBE caused by GBS and review the literature. Methods Retrospective case series and literature review. Results In the current case series, 6 eyes of 6 patients developed EBE caused by GBS. The average age was 73.5 years. The focus of infection included the urinary tract, cellulitis, arthritis, peritonitis, catheter-associated infection and endocarditis. Four patients had DM. While all 6 strains were sensitive to β-lactams (penicillins and cephems), 4 strains were resistant to levofloxacin (no data for 1 isolate). Each case was treated with the systemic antibiotic to which the individual strain was sensitive. All cases showed poor visual acuity at presentation (decimal visual acuity: less than 0.03). Vitrectomy with intravitreal antibiotics injection was performed in 4 cases. Visual acuity recovered in 4 cases and did not recover in 2 cases, even after vitrectomy. The literature review of 53 eyes of 41 patients revealed that 60% of eyes finally lost all vision, and death occurred in 2 cases. Initial visual acuity of less than counting fingers was associated with a final outcome of lost vision. Of 41 patients, 13 (32%) had DM as an underlying medical condition. The most common extra-ocular infection focus was endocarditis (37%). Conclusions DM is common in patients with EBE caused by GBS. While the 4 cases in the current report had a relatively good visual acuity outcome, despite poor initial visual acuity, the literature review indicated that EBE caused by GBS is generally a severe condition with a poor prognosis. The current study also indicates the importance of considering the possibility of endocarditis on encountering EBE caused by GBS.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to analyse the clinical features, microbiology results, management and outcomes of patients with endogenous endophthalmitis caused by Klebsiella pneumoniae in western China. METHODS A retrospective review of medical records of 10 eyes in 10 subjects diagnosed with endogenous K. pneumoniae endophthalmitis from January 2008 to December 2018 was undertaken. RESULTS The top 3 predisposing medical conditions included diabetes mellitus (50%), malignancy (20%) and cardiac stent implantation (10%). Extraocular infective foci were mainly found in the liver (40%), lungs (20%) and kidneys (10%). The positive culture rate was 85.71% (6/7) in vitreous samples, 83.33% (5/6) in blood samples and 100% (4/4) in body fluid samples. Only 20% of the patients, who had good initial visual acuity (VA) better than hand movement (HM), achieved a final VA better than 1.0 (log MAR). The mortality rate was 10%. CONCLUSIONS Though the prognosis of endogenous K. pneumoniae endophthalmitis is often poor, patients with an initial VA better than HM may have a good prognosis under comprehensive treatments, including vitrectomy, systemic sensitive antibiotic injection and drainage of the primary infection loci.

Abstract
Staphylococcus aureus causes various infections, including skin and soft tissue infections and pneumonia via both, community-associated and nosocomial infection. These infectious diseases can lead to bacteremia, and may subsequently result in metastatic infections in several cases. Metastatic infections are critical complications in patients with S. aureus bacteremia, since the optimal duration of the antimicrobial treatment differs in patients with and without metastatic infection. Notably, two weeks of antimicrobial treatment is recommended in case of uncomplicated S. aureus bacteremia, whereas in patients with S. aureus bacteremia-associated endocarditis or vertebral osteomyelitis, six weeks of antimicrobial administration is vital. In addition, misdiagnosis or insufficient treatment in metastatic infection is associated with poor prognosis, functional disability, and relapse. Although echocardiography is recommended to examine endocarditis in the patients with S. aureus bacteremia, it remains unclear which patients should undergo additional examinations, such as CT and MRI, to detect the presence of other metastatic infections. Clinical studies have revealed that permanent foreign body and persistent bacteremia are predictive factors for metastatic infections, and experimental studies have demonstrated that the virulence factors of S. aureus, such as fnbA and clfA, are associated with endocarditis; however, these factors are not proven to increase the risk of metastatic infections. In this review, we assessed the incidence, predictive factors, diagnosis, and treatment for metastatic infections during S. aureus bacteremia.

Abstract
We report 2 cases of endogenous endophthalmitis associated with pyogenic liver abscess caused by Klebsiella pneumoniae. Case 1 involved a 70-year-old woman and case 2 involved a 50-year-old man who were admitted to our hospital with diagnoses of liver abscess and endogenous endophthalmitis, respectively. The liver abscess resolved with antibiotics and percutaneous transhepatic drainage in case 1 and with antibiotics alone in case 2. Even though both cases underwent ophthalmic surgery, they were discharged from our hospital without the recovery of their eyesight. An earlier diagnosis and treatment are needed to improve the prognosis of endophthalmitis.
