Acute fungal post-cataract endophthalmitis in the endophthalmitis management study: EMS report 7.

ABSTRACT: Investigate and characterise acute post-cataract fungal endophthalmitis pooled from the Endophthalmitis Management Study occurring within 6 weeks of primary surgery. The fungal infection was confirmed through conventional and molecular microbiology work-ups and antifungal susceptibility testing. Clinical examination included measurement of distant vision and intraocular pressure, anterior segment photo documentation and inflammation score (IS) measurement. Per the microbiology report, the eyes were divided into culture-positive (C+), sequencing-positive (S+) and sequencing-positive-unidentified (U+) fungi. Clinical correlations and statistical comparisons were performed between these three cohorts. The study identified 21 patients with fungal endophthalmitis; it was 9.5% (21 of 220) of all
