A case of bilateral Escherichia coli endogenous endophthalmitis. 1976

W L Fanning, and J Stubbert, and E S Irwin, and M D Aronson

The first reported case of bilateral endogenous endophthalmitis is presented and discussed with reference to pertinent literature. Diagnostic and therapeutic recommendations for suspected gram-negative endophthalmitis are presented and include: immediate paracentesis of the eye for gram stain and culture, systemic therapy with an antibiotic such as gentamicin and either subconjunctival, subtenon or intraocular injection of antibiotics. Despite these measures vision may be lost, and, as in this case, enucleation necessary.
