Endophthalmitis following cataract extraction. 1987

K McClellan, and D J Coster, and P R Badenoch, and R Sanders, and E Chandraratnam, and A Kupa

We describe a case of bacterial endophthalmitis complicating routine cataract extraction and intraocular lens implantation in a 91-year-old woman. The ocular and systemic factors that may have predisposed to intraocular infection in this case, and the possibility of predicting these pre-operatively, are discussed.
