Abstract:
:Purpose: To summarize the characteristics of endogenous fungal endophthalmitis (EFE) after genitourinary procedures. Methods: Medical records of patients diagnosed with EFE after genitourinary procedures from a single center during a 6-year period were reviewed. Results: Nineteen eyes of 15 patients were included. The interval time between procedure to symptom was 3.6 ± 3.6 weeks. As the initial treatment, 9/19 eyes underwent primary vitrectomy and 10/19 eyes underwent intravitreal antifungal injection . Candida albicans was the pathogen in 15 of 19 eyes. Systemic treatment with itraconazole was used in all patients. LogMAR best corrected visual acuity improved from 2.2 ± 0.9 to 0.9 ± 1.2 after treatment (p = 0.002) in 15 eyes that were followed-up for an average of 4.9 ± 2.1 years. Conclusion: Genitourinary procedure is a predisposing factor for EFE. Candida albicans is the predominant pathogen. Normative systemic and local antifungal treatments improved the final visual outcome.
