Diagnostic Utility of Polymerase Chain Reaction on Intraocular Specimens to Establish the Etiology of Infectious Endophthalmitis
1 Sept 2009
Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: To evaluate the utility of polymerase chain reaction (PCR) on intraocular clinical specimens (aqueous humor [AH] and vitreous fluid [VF]) as an etiologic diagnostic tool relative to microbiological culture methods in infectious endophthalmitis. METHODS: Conventional bacterial and mycologic cultures and PCR for eubacterial and panfungal genomes were applied for etiologic diagnosis on pairs of AH and VF...
