Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Patients diagnosed with infectious endophthalmitis by specialist examination. The clinical diagnosis of endophthalmitis was established on the basis of clinical signs and symptoms, including ocular pain, loss of vision, eyelid oedema, conjunctival congestion, inflammation of the anterior chamber (flare-ups, cells, pupillary fibrin membranes, and pus accumulation in the anterior chamber), vitritis, and vitreous clouding on B-scan ultrasound. The diagnosis of infectious endophthalmitis was clarified by the aqueous vitreous pathogen detection test.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Patients with incomplete medical records; non-infectious uveitis, retinal tumour disease, ocular ischaemia syndrome and other diseases with similar manifestations to endophthalmitis.
