Book synopsis

This book describes the clinical presentations, diagnostic techniques,§microbial pathogens, and antibiotic therapies for various types of§endophthalmitis. Each chapter is written by experts in the field with the§practicing clinician in mind. Endophthalmitis covers all of the§above-mentioned settings and provides the practitioner with the latest§guidelines for diagnosing and treating this vision-threatening infection.§§Endophthalmitis is§one of the most devastating types of eye infections, and most often occurs§after eye surgery, an intravitreal injection, or ocular trauma.§Endophthalmitis may also occur in eyes with severe keratitis, a glaucoma§filtering bleb, or an indwelling ocular device such as a keratoprosthesis, or§it may result from spread of organisms to the eye during bacteremia and§fungemia. The diagnosis of endophthalmitis may be readily apparent, as in most§cases of acute endophthalmitis, or less obvious, as in many casesof subacute or chronic endophthalmitis. In all cases, timely§diagnosis and appropriate therapy influence visual outcome.§§
