Endophthalmitis in diseases classified elsewhere - what does this mean
Endophthalmitis in diseases classified elsewhere is an infection of the inner layers of the eye caused by bacteria or fungi that has spread from another part of the body, such as the bloodstream. it can be caused by a variety of conditions, including trauma, surgery, or a weakened immune system. it can cause vision loss, inflammation, and scarring of the eye. treatment includes antibiotics, antifungals, and surgery.
What happens during the disease - endophthalmitis in diseases classified elsewhere
Endophthalmitis is an infection of the internal structures of the eye, caused by bacteria, fungi, or viruses, which can lead to inflammation and/or destruction of the eye tissues. it is typically caused by the spread of infection from the surrounding structures of the eye, such as the conjunctiva and orbit, or from a penetrating injury to the eye. risk factors for developing endophthalmitis include prior eye surgery, contact lens use, and intraocular injections.

How does a doctor diagnose
- Take a detailed history of the patient's medical history
- Conduct a comprehensive physical examination of the eyes, including visual acuity, pupillary reflexes, and ocular motility
- Perform a slit-lamp examination to look for signs of inflammation or infection
- Order imaging tests such as ultrasound, CT scan, or MRI to assess the extent of the infection
- Collect a sample of the infected material for laboratory testing
- Conduct blood tests to determine if the patient has an underlying systemic infection
- Administer topical and/or systemic antibiotics and/or antiviral medications as needed
- Refer the patient to an ophthalmologist for further evaluation and management
Treatment and Medical Assistance
Main Goal: To reduce inflammation and prevent further damage to the eye.
- Administer topical antibiotics to reduce infection.
- Prescribe systemic antibiotics to reduce infection.
- Prescribe topical corticosteroids to reduce inflammation.
- Provide intravenous antibiotics to reduce infection.
- Perform a vitrectomy to remove infected material.
- Perform a scleral buckle procedure to reduce intraocular pressure.
- Perform a pars plana vitrectomy to reduce intraocular pressure.
- Prescribe nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs to reduce inflammation.
- Perform a scleral patch graft to reduce intraocular pressure.
- Perform a scleral resection to reduce intraocular pressure.
- Perform a scleral ablation to reduce intraocular pressure.
- Perform a scleral buckling procedure to reduce intraocular pressure.
- Administer intravitreal injections of antibiotics to reduce infection.
- Administer intravitreal injections of corticosteroids to reduce inflammation.
- Administer intravitreal injections of antivirals to reduce infection.
- Perform a pars plana vitrectomy with scleral buckle to reduce intraocular pressure.
- Perform a pars plana vitrectomy with scleral patch graft to reduce intraocular pressure.
- Perform a pars plana vitrectomy with scleral resection to reduce intraocular pressure.
- Perform a pars plana vitrectomy with scleral ablation to reduce intraocular pressure.
