Other endophthalmitis - what does this mean

Other endophthalmitis is an inflammation of the inner layers of the eye caused by a bacterial, fungal, or viral infection. it usually occurs when bacteria, fungi, or viruses enter the eye through a wound, a surgical procedure, or a foreign body. it can also be caused by a systemic infection, such as hiv or tuberculosis, that spreads to the eye.

What happens during the disease - other endophthalmitis

Патогенез эндофтальмита при экзогенном инфицировании многоплановый. В случае нарушения целостности роговицы или склеры микроорганизмы проникают внутрь стекловидного тела, где беспрепятственно размножаются. Образуется внутриглазной очаг инфекции, который быстро распространяется на все оболочки глаза. В свою очередь, нарушение иммунологической изолированности глаза сопровождается аутоиммунной воспалительной реакцией, способствующей ослаблению сопротивляемости инфекции, и агрессивному течению эндофтальмита и панофтальмита.

 

Образующийся гнойный экссудат приводит к увеиту, расплавлению сосудистой и сетчатой оболочек, инкапсуляции с образованием шварт. Швартообразование в последующем вызывает тракции и отслойку сетчатки с исходом в гипотензию и атрофию глазного яблока.
