A 10-YEAR COMPARISON OF ENDOGENOUS ENDOPHTHALMITIS OUTCOMES: AN EAST ASIAN EXPERIENCE WITH KLEBSIELLA PNEUMONIAE INFECTION

Abstract

The authors' experience with endogenous endophthalmitis has confirmed the findings of analogous East Asian studies, with liver abscess as the major source of infection and K. pneumoniae as the causative organism. Superior outcome may be achieved with more comprehensive and collaborative management, ideally through the combined efforts of multiple medical subspecialties.
