Abstract
Background
Endogenous endophthalmitis is an infrequent yet severe complication of hemodialysis catheter-related sepsis. In this report, we present a case of endogenous bacterial endophthalmitis in a patient with hemodialysis catheter-related sepsis.
Case Presentation
A 65-year-old male had a history of hepatitis B-related glomerulonephritis, end-stage renal disease, hepatitis-B-related decompensated cirrhosis, hypertension, diabetes mellitus, and coronary artery disease. He received temporary central venous catheterization and commenced hemodialysis. Subsequent diagnosis of methicillin-resistant
Staphylococcus aureus
(MRSA) endogenous endophthalmitis originating from catheter-related bloodstream infection (CRBSI) was established. The patient underwent vitrectomy and received intravitreal antibiotic injections. Treatment with systemic and local antibiotics was sustained for a duration of 4 weeks, however, the patient's visual acuity remained poor.
Conclusions
Endogenous endophthalmitis represents a vision-threatening emergency necessitating rapid identification and intervention. Clinicians should maintain a high index of suspicion for endogenous endophthalmitis when ocular symptoms manifest in the context of sepsis. Timely ophthalmological evaluation and management are imperative to optimize patient outcomes.
Endogenous endophthalmitis represents a vision-threatening emergency necessitating rapid identification and intervention. Clinicians should maintain a high index of suspicion for endogenous endophthalmitis when ocular symptoms manifest in the context of sepsis. Timely ophthalmological evaluation and management are imperative to optimize patient outcomes.
期刊介绍:
Hemodialysis International was originally an annual publication containing the Proceedings of the International Symposium on Hemodialysis held in conjunction with the Annual Dialysis Conference. Since 2003, Hemodialysis International is published quarterly and contains original papers on clinical and experimental topics related to dialysis in addition to the Annual Dialysis Conference supplement. This journal is a must-have for nephrologists, nurses, and technicians worldwide. Quarterly issues of Hemodialysis International are included with your membership to the International Society for Hemodialysis.
The journal contains original articles, review articles, and commentary to keep readers completely updated in the field of hemodialysis. Edited by international and multidisciplinary experts, Hemodialysis International disseminates critical information in the field.
