4.Real situation of endogenous endophthalmitis at Department of Glaucoma, National hospital of Ophthalmology
Journal of Practical Medicine 2005;0(12):1-6
75 patients (75 eyes) with endogenous endophthalmitis were treated at Department of Glaucoma, National Hospital of Ophthalmology from 01 January 2004 to 31 December 2004. Results: Endogenous endophthalmitis occurred in 0.13% of all cases at Department of Glaucoma and approximately 1% of hospitalized patients. It is more common in male than in female (58.67% vs 41.33%). The mean age is 37.31± 20.14. Patients under 30 years old present a high rate (49.33%). The right eye infection is more often than the left eye (54.67% vs 45.33%). No case of bilateral involvement is detected. 57.3% of all cases are cultivator. Endogenous endophthalmitis is mostly detected from October to December (46.67%). Gram(+) bacteria are the most common pathogens (45.7%). Fungal infection is the least frequent cause. The outcome of treatment for endogenous endophthalmitis is limit, with 57.33% has visual acuity limited to light perception or totally blind. Retinal detachment appears in 10.67% of all cases. 2.67% has ocular atrophy and 18.67% require the necessity for enucleation

5.Endophthalmitis after open-globe injuries - causative organisms and visual outcome
Journal of Medical and Pharmaceutical Information 2000;(4):32-36
We review 31 consecutive cases of open-globe injuries in Trauma Department of National Institute of Ophthalmology from January 2000 to December 2000. All cases were done for microbial cultures. Results showed that among 27 males and 4 females ranged in age from 5 to 44 years, there were 10 cases of culture-positive. Gram-negative organisms and Staphylococcus were the most frequent. Final visual acuity was 5/200 of better in 8 patients (25.8%), counting fingers: 5 patients (16.1%), light perception in 12 patients (38.7%), phthisis bulb in 4 (12.9%), 2 eyes were eviscerated.

6.E.coli endotoxin in experimental septic shock and hemodialysis a effective method of treatment of shock
Journal of Practical Medicine 2000;383(6):21-24
E.coli endotoxin in septic shock causes hypotension, multiple organ dysfunction, and left ventricular change with characteristic of the myocardiac depression. There is no longer any doubt that continuous hemofiltration in the therapies is better tolerated when comparing with intermittent hemodialyin. In the blood, concentration of the myocardial depressant factor was reduced by half in the first hour of extracorporeal removal. Continuous hemofiltration will be used in septic shock as soon as for the patient is oliguric and hemodynamical unstable.

7.Vitrectomy in children' endophthalmitis
Journal of Medical Research 2003;26(6):92-99
The study was carried out on children aged under 15 (male 64.44% and female 35.56%) suffering from endophthalmitis with 45 eyes. Three opening on the eye ball were made through pars plan area for inserting the water nail, the vitrectome and the ocular endoscope with the help of a coaxial surgical microscope and a lense, the target part of vitreous body was precisely located by the ocular endoscope. Pathological tissues of vitreous body was removed and replaced with ringer lactate solution. Antibiotics and Depersolon were injected into the pathologic eye ball to end the operation. 12 months after the surgery, among the operated eyes 12.83% showed clearly visible fondus, 15.38% slightly turbid, 7.69% reached a visual acuity of 0.4-0.7 and 17.95% of 0.1-0.3. Results showed that with the children suffering from endophthalmitis, this surgical treatment is an efficient approach.

Objective:
To report a case of acute postoperative endophthalmitis following cataract surgery due to Pseudomonas stutzeri in a healthy elderly male.
Methods:
This is a case report.
Results:
A non-hypertensive, non-diabetic male in his late 60s consulted due to eye pain and blurred vision 5
days after an uncomplicated extracapsular cataract extraction with posterior chamber intraocular lens
implantation (PCIOL) on his left eye. On examination, the visual acuity was light perception. Slit-lamp
examination showed ciliary injection, conjunctival congestion, mild corneal edema with Descemet membrane
folds, hazy anterior chamber with fibrin and a 2-millimeter hypopyon, and a visible PCIOL. IOP was 10 mmHg
with no leak on Seidel’s test, and there was poor view of the fundus. B-scan ultrasonography showed findings
consistent with endophthalmitis. He was given topical, intravitreal, and systemic antibiotics, and emergency
vitrectomy was done. The vitreous sample culture revealed Pseudomonas stutzeri. Despite aggressive medical and
surgical management, vision loss was not prevented.
Conclusion
Acute postoperative endophthalmitis from Pseudomonas stutzeri is rare; if not recognized and
treated promptly, this complication has devastating outcomes. It may present with a fulminant course regardless
of the associated risks for infection. Prevention, early recognition, and timely management can prevent
unfavorable visual outcomes.
