2. • Introduction:
• Post Cataract Endophthalmitis due to
Pseudomonas aeruginosa has been reported
to have poor outcome.
• We present our analysis of treatment results
of managing this condition.
3. • Material and Methods:
• A retrospective analysis of records of 10 eyes of 10
patients with acute post operative endophthalmitis
following cataract surgery with intraocular lens
(IOL) implantation, who were tested culture positive
for Pseudomonas aeruginosa .
• All the patients underwent vitreous tap with
intravitreal injection of Vancomycin 1 mg
Ceftazidime 2.25 mg and Amikacin 0.4mg /0.1 ml
as the first line of treatment.
• Subsequently, Vitrectomy with repeat antibiotic
injection or only repeat antibiotic injection was done
depending upon the clinical response and the
microbiological report.
4.
5. Results:
• 10 eyes of 10 patients were included in the
study. The age ranges from 46-90 years
• The median interval between IOL surgery
and onset of symptoms was7 days (range
1-15days) and the median interval between
onset of symptoms and presentation was 3
days (range from 1-10 days).
• Initial vision was PL only in 06/10 eyes ,
Hand movements (HM) in 2 eyes and 2/60
in 2 eyes.
6. Result.....
• Final visual outcome – no PL in 2/10 eyes
- PL only- 1/10, HM in 2/10 , 3/60 in 3/10 ,
6/60 to 6/18 in 2/10 .2 eyes with vision of
HM or less became phthisical.
• None of the eyes required evisceration. All
the 5 patients with poor outcome (Vision of
no PL, PL and HM) did not undergo
vitrectomy due to corneal involment.
7. Conclusion:
• The outcome of P. aeruginosa
endophthalmitis is poor, but early aggressive
treatment with intravitreal antibiotic and early
vitrectomy has favourable result.
• Corneal involvement precluding vitrectomy
had poor outcome.

COMPLICATIONS
Early aggressive treatment with intravitreal
antibiotic and early vitrectomy has
favourable result .
B-scan is helpful in diagnosis.
