  • Look Inside

A 75-year-old female developed submacular hemorrhage secondary to age-related macular degeneration. Her corrected visual acuity was 0.4 left. Her left eye was treated by vitrectomy,removal of subretinal neovascularization,pars plana lensectomy,implantation of intraocular lens(IOL),and fluid-air exchange. She had been given peroral levofloxacin 5.i.d. for 3 days before surgery. Endophthalmitis with hypopyon developed 2 days after surgery. It was treated by removal of IOL the same day. She was given multiple antibiotics including vancomycin. Another recurrence of endophthalmitis was brought under control by multiple antibiotics. Methicillin-resistantStaphylococcus aureus(MRSA)was isolated from the aqueous obtained 4 days after the second surgery. This case illustrates that endophthalmitis may developed following vitreous surgery by multiple organisms including MRSA.
