Bacillus cereus endophthalmitis.
Endophthalmitis, of any aetiology, is a potentially devastating ocular infection. Few patients are able to maintain good visual acuity. Many retain only navigational vision and a significant number require evisceration or enucleation. 2 The incidence ofendophthalmitis after trauma has been estimated to occur in 2-7% of cases.3 Various organisms have been implicated but, in recent years, Bacillu...

متن کاملExperimental Bacillus cereus post-traumatic endophthalmitis and treatment with ciprofloxacin.
BACKGROUND Bacillus species remain an important cause of post-traumatic endophthalmitis, often causing permanent visual loss. METHODS Twenty two rabbits were used to evaluate the clinical and histological findings of Bacillus cereus experimental post-traumatic endophthalmitis. Eyes that had received a scleral laceration and surgical repair were inoculated with Bacillus cereus. Thirty four oth...

متن کاملTreatment of Bacillus cereus endophthalmitis with endoscopy-assisted vitrectomy
To evaluate the use of endoscopy-assisted vitrectomy in patients with sight-threatening Bacillus cereus endophthalmitis.A retrospective analysis was conducted in 15 eyes with Bacillus cereus endophthalmitis. Patients were divided into 2 groups: endoscopy-assisted vitrectomy (5 eyes) and conventional vitrectomy (10 eyes). The following clinical data were recorded and analyzed: sex, age, latent p...
