Polymerase chain reaction in the diagnosis of bacterial endophthalmitis

1 Sept 1998

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Microbiological investigations of vitreous fluid (VF) and aqueous humour (AH) specimens have often failed to detect the infecting agent in infectious endophthalmitis, resulting in a clinical dilemma regarding therapy. In this study, the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was evaluated in the diagnosis of bacterial and Propionibacterium acnes endophthalmitis. METHODS: 58 intraocular specimens (30 VF and...
