Abstract
BACKGROUND The correlation between the change in foveal thickness measured using optical coherence tomography (OCT) following surgery for infectious endophthalmitis and preoperative and postoperative visual acuity is uncertain, and there are few pertinent studies on this topic. OBJECTIVE We explored the variations in macular thickness using OCT after emergency vitrectomy for post-cataract infectious endophthalmitis and the relationship between macular thickness with changes in visual function. METHODS We included 10 cases of post-cataract infectious endophthalmitis. Each patient underwent 25-G vitrectomy. RESULTS The infection in all 10 patients was under control and visual function improved. Postoperative vitreous humor culture was positive in 8 patients, including 7 cases of coagulase-negative Staphylococcus epidermidis and 1 case of Lactobacillus acidophilus. The average age of these 10 patients was 71.60 ± 8.71 years (P< 0.05, two-tailed). There was no significant correlation between time 2 (the time of onset after cataract surgery) and visual prognosis. The average time 1 (the time of the vitrification surgery caused by the onset of the disease) was 1.45 ± 0.76 days (P< 0.05, two-tailed). The postoperative 3dVA ranged from 0.20 to 3.00, with an average visual acuity of 1.87 ± 1.12, which was superior to the preoperative value (P< 0.01, two-tailed). The correlation between the post3dVA and post 1mVA was significant. The post 1mVA ranged from 0.05 to 2.20, with an average visual acuity of 0.94 ± 0.74 (P< 0.05, two-tailed). The correlation between post 1mVA and post3mVA was significant. Also, paired t-tests comparing preoperative and postoperative visual acuity revealed a significant correlation (P< 0.05, two-tailed). The post3mVA was 0-1.00 with an average visual acuity of 0.44 ± 0.41. The postoperative foveal thickness ranged from 176.00 to 514.00 μm, with an average thickness of 281.10 ± 113.12 μm. CONCLUSION Emergency 25-G minimally invasive vitrectomy can improve visual acuity and decrease the reoperation rate for patients who have acquired post-cataract infectious endophthalmitis. There were significant correlations between age, disease onset to operation time, preoperative and postoperative visual acuity, and postoperative macular thickness.

Abstract
Objective To evaluate the effect of gentamicin in surgical perfusion solution on endophthalmitis incidence after cataract surgery. Methods A retrospective analysis of endophthalmitis incidence was conducted in two groups of patients who underwent cataract surgery, with (Group B) or without gentamicin (Group A) in the surgical perfusion solution. Endophthalmitis incidence, the isolated pathogenic bacteria strains and their antibiotic sensitivity, and the drug-resistant genotype of the pathogens were examined. Results The incidence of endophthalmitis in patients of group A was 0.8‰. Thirteen pathogenic bacterial strains were isolated from the patient samples in group A, including 8 strains of Staphylococcus epidermidis, 1 Staphylococcus aureus, 1 Streptococcus pneumoniae, 1 Streptococcus bovis, 1 Enterococcus faecium and 1 Morganella sp. The incidence of endophthalmitis in group B patients was 0.2‰, which was significantly lower than that in group A (P<0.05). Five strains of pathogenic bacteria were successfully isolated, including 2 strains of Enterococcus faecium, 1 Enterococcus faecalis, 1 Staphylococcus epidermidis and 1 Staphylococcus aureus. There was no significant difference in the proportion of Staphylococcus strains in all isolated bacteria between the two groups (P > 0.05). However, the proportion of Enterococci isolated in group B samples was higher than that in group A (P < 0.05). There were more gentamicin-sensitive strains than levofloxacin-sensitive strains identified (P < 0.05). Interestingly, aminoglycoside-inactivating enzyme resistance gene was detected in Enterococcus strains. Conclusion Our data suggest that gentamicin-containing perfusion solution can reduce the incidence of postoperative endophthalmitis in cataract patients. However, the selective pressure imposed by gentamicin may facilitate the development of aminoglycoside-resistant Enterococcos strains.

Abstract
Background To evaluate the rate, risk factors, functional outcome and prognosis in eyes with retinal detachment after post-operative endophthalmitis treated with 23G Pars Plana Vitrectomy. Methods Electronic patient files from 2009 until 2018 were screened for the presence of an endophthalmitis. Included were 116 eyes of 116 patients. This population was evaluated for the rate of retinal detachment after 23G Pars Plana Vitrectomy for endophthalmitis following cataract surgery or intravitreal injection. The main outcome measures were retinal detachment and visual acuity. Results The reasons for endophthalmitis were previous cataract surgery in 78 patients and following intravitreal injection in 38 patients. The first clinical evidence of endophthalmitis was present in median 5 days after the triggering intervention. Twenty-five eyes (21.55%) developed a retinal detachment an average of 25 days after endophthalmitis. RD is significantly associated with preoperative visual acuity (p = 0.001). Conclusions We emphasize the prognostic role of preoperative visual acuity in RD development of the endophthalmitis treated with 23G Pars Plana Vitrectomy.

Cataract Surgery by Intraoperative Surface Irrigation with 0.25% Povidone-Iodine. J Clin Med 2021; 10:jcm10163611. [PMID: 34441906 PMCID: PMC8397035 DOI: 10.3390/jcm10163611] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/23/2021] [Revised: 07/09/2021] [Accepted: 08/08/2021] [Indexed: 11/16/2022] Open
Abstract
Postoperative endophthalmitis after cataract surgery is typically caused by the patient's own conjunctival normal bacterial flora. A three-step approach is recommended to prevent endophthalmitis: (1) "border control" to prevent microorganisms from entering the eye by disinfecting the ocular surface is the most important measure; (2) bacteria that have gained access into the anterior chamber are reduced by irrigation; (3) bacteria remaining in the anterior chamber and vitreous at the end of surgery are controlled by antibacterial drugs. We have devised a method, "the Shimada technique", for irrigating the ocular surface with povidone-iodine, a disinfectant with potent microbicidal effect and established effective and safe concentrations for eye tissues. Povidone-iodine exhibits a bactericidal effect for a wide concentration range of 0.005-10%, but 0.1% povidone-iodine has the highest activity and requires the shortest time of only 15 s to achieve microbicidal effect. When used to irrigate the ocular surface every 20-30 s during cataract surgery, 0.25% povidone-iodine is conceivably diluted to around 0.1%. Irrigation with 0.25% povidone-iodine during cataract surgery significantly reduced bacteria contamination rate in the anterior chamber compared with saline (p = 0.0017) without causing corneal endothelial damage.

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.
