Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVE: To report the investigation for the source of infection and the clinical course and treatment response of 11 cases of acute post-cataract surgery endophthalmitis that developed during an outbreak. DESIGN: Retrospective, consecutive, interventional case series. PARTICIPANTS: Eleven patients who developed acute postoperative endophthalmitis after an uneventful cataract surgery with intraocular lens...
