Acute Endophthalmitis Caused by Leuconostoc spp. following Intravitreal Bevacizumab Injection

An 86-year-old immunocompetent female developed acute endophthalmitis after intravitreal injection of bevacizumab for neovascular age-related macular degeneration. The patient presented with pain, visual acuity of hand motions, hypopyon, and dense vitritis 96 h after treatment. Sh...
متن کاملIntravitreal Injection of Bevacizumab (Avastin) to Treat Posterior Capsule Neovascularization

Mediators that induce new vessel formation such as the vascular endothelial growth factor-A seem to play a key role in the pathophysiology of this condition. Herein, we report 2 cases with neovascular glaucoma secondary to ischemic central retinal vein occlusion w...

Since traditionally the operation theatre setup is currently used for this procedure, it is increasingly becoming difficult to manage such a patient load in the theatres. To overcome this challenge, office-based setup for intravitreal injection was started. This study was planned to determine the incidence...

CLINICAL CASE An 81-year-old man presented with stage 2 retinal angiomatous proliferation (RAP) as identified by fluorescein angiography and optical coherence tomography (OCT), and was shown to have a visual acuity (VA) of 20/40. One week after an intravitreal injection of bevacizumab (1.25 mg) the VA improved to 20/25, and the OCT showed a reduction of both intraretinal edema and pigment epith...
