영문 초록

Purpose: To determine the factors related to the clinical outcome of acute endophthalmitis after cataract surgery. Methods: Authors performed a retrospective study of 65 eyes of 65 patients who had been treated for endophthalmitis from 2001 to 2006 at our hospital. We analyzed the relationship between final visual outcomes and prognostic factors. Results: Final visual acuities were 0.5 or better in 49.2% of all eyes. Of 57 eyes, 29 eyes (50.8%) were culture positive. Staphylococcus epidermidis and Streptococcus pneumoniae were the most common organisms isolated. Cases with baseline acuity of counting fingers or better, cases with culture-negative or gram-positive infection, and cases not requiring vitrectomy had better prognoses. Conclusions: Baseline visual acuity, type of cultured organism, and method of treatment are significantly related to visual prognosis. J Korean Ophthalmol Soc 49(8):1242-1247, 2008
