A 2-month-old infant was attended for an ocular infection in the right eye (RE). Records showed that after delivery, the newborn was hospitalized for a severe neonatal sepsis, respiratory distress, and eyes opalescence. Clinical diagnosis of endogen endophthalmitis.
Serial microbiological culture from blood and ocular swabs were done and several syndromic antimicrobial treatments were used without improvement of ocular infection, including some intraocular antimicrobial injections. The treating medical team decided to perform the RE-vitrectomy with microbiological sampling of vitreous fluid (VF), because of the non-improvement of RE infection and the beginning of compromising of the left eye (LE).
