UNASSIGNED: Retrospective analysis of medical and microbiology records.
UNASSIGNED: Both of our cases of Salmonella endophthalmitis had poor visual outcome, despite timely and aggressive management and irrespective of immune status of the patient. Salmonella infection being a rare cause of endophthalmitis was not initially suspected as the adult had minimal systemic symptoms 2 weeks before presentation, while the preterm baby was still on milk feeds. These were just two microbiologically confirmed cases of Salmonella endophthalmitis at our institute over the past 10 years, though enteric fever due to Salmonella species is endemic in Asian countries.
UNASSIGNED: Salmonella endophthalmitis, though rare, leads to poor visual outcomes despite early recognition and aggressive management and may be confused with other infections or non-infectious entities such as necrotizing retinoblastoma in babies, in the absence of clear systemic signs of the disease.
■医学和微生物学记录的回顾性分析。
■我们的两例沙门氏菌眼内炎的视力都不好,尽管及时积极的管理,无论患者的免疫状态如何。最初没有怀疑沙门氏菌感染是眼内炎的罕见原因,因为成年人在出现前2周有轻微的全身症状。而早产儿仍在吃牛奶。在过去的10年中,这只是我们研究所的两例沙门氏菌眼内炎的微生物学确诊病例,尽管沙门氏菌引起的肠热在亚洲国家是地方性的。
■沙门氏菌眼内炎,虽然罕见,尽管早期识别和积极管理,但仍导致不良的视觉结果,并且可能与其他感染或非感染性实体(如婴儿坏死性视网膜母细胞瘤)相混淆,在没有明确的全身性疾病体征的情况下。
