摘要
We recently treated a patient with chronic postoperative endophthahnitis caused by Staphylococcus aureus, which usually presents with a fulminant clinical course. Because of the chronic course, the initial treatment was high dose steroids followed by lensectomy and vitrectoiny. However, this was not effective, and intravitreal antibiotics and steroids were ultimately required. We now recommend that in patients with chronic postoperative inflammation unresponsive to high dose steroids, intraocular cultures followed by injection of intraocular antibiotics be considered. © 1990, American Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgery.
