Thirty-six cases of endophthalmitis microbiological considerations

Causes and response to antibiotics were analyzed in 36 cases of endophthalmitis. Using diphasic Hemolyne broth, the pathogens responsible for the infection can be isolated. Although the framework for treatment and the evolution of postoperative endophthalmitis have been outlined, the disease continues to evolve. Because complete elimination of postsurgical endophthalmitis appears unattainable, strategies for optimal prevention, diagnosis, and management are important.
