Abstract

53 years old male who had undergone uneventful pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) in order to evacuate vitreous hemorrhage in his left eye, presented with sudden visual loss, redness and pain three days following PPV. Endophthalmitis was diagnosed by clinical examination and ultrasonography and repeat PPV with intravitreal antibiotic and silicone oil injection was carried out. Ochrobactrum anthropi was cultured in vitreous specimen. Topical and oral fluoroquinolone antibiotics were added according to the results of antimicrobial susceptibility testing. System examination findings and blood biochemistry were normal. We think that this case is interesting because Ochrobactrum anthropi postoperative endophthalmitis has been rarely reported in healthy individuals.

Özet

Sol gözünden vitreus kanaması nedeni ile komplikasyonsuz pars plana vitrektomi (PPV) geçiren 53 yaşında erkek hasta, üç gün sonra aynı gözde ani görme azalması, kızarıklık ve ağrı şikayeti ile başvurdu. Klinik muayene ve ultrasonografi tetkiki sonrası sol akut postoperatif endoftalmi tanısı ile tekrar PPV, intravitreal antibiyotik ve silikon enjeksiyonu ameliyatı uygulandı. Alınan vitreus örneğinde Ochrobactrum anthropi üredi. Antibiyotik duyarlık testi sonrası tedaviye topikal ve oral florokinolon grubu antibiyotik eklendi. Hastanın sistemik muayenesi ve tüm biyokimya tetkikleri normaldi. Bu olgunun; endoftalmi etkeninin sağlıklı kişilerde nadir olarak görülen Ochrobactrum anthropi olması bakımından ilginç olduğunu düşünüyoruz.
