Abstract

Purpose: to study the clinical features of patients with penetrating eye injury and foreign body, complicated by endophthalmitis.Methods. 68 patients (68 eyes) with penetrating injury and ocular foreign body were included in the retrospective study, including 91.2 % males and 8.8 % females. The mean age was 50.00 [32.00; 60.00] years. The patients were divided into 2 groups: with endophthalmitis — 24 patients, without inflammation — 44 patients. All patients underwent standard ophthalmologic methods of examination.Results. The age of patients with endophthalmitis was significantly greater compared to patients without inflammation — 51.50 [46.25; 63.25] years and 36.50 [31.25; 58.50] years, respectively (p = 0.0446). In the first day after injury, only 25 % of patients asked for medical care (p = 0.0071). In patients with endophthalmitis according to biomicroscopy data on admission the following were significantly more frequent: eyelid edema (p < 0.0001), purulent discharge (p < 0.0001), total hyphema (p = 0.029), hypopyon (p < 0.0001), iris edema (p < 0.0001), fibrin in vitreous body (p = 0.0014), as well as its destruction (p = 0.0005). 87.5 % of patients with endophthalmitis showed absence of fundus reflex (p = 0.0105), and 25 % of patients with inflammation showed increased intraocular pressure (p = 0.0019). In patients with endophthalmitis, surgical treatment was performed: cataract phacoemulsification in 91.7 % of patients (p < 0.0001), vitreoectomy in 87.5 % (p = 0.0098), enucleation of the eye in 12.5 % (p = 0.0165) and evisceration in 12.5 % (p = 0.0165). Bacterial culture in patients with endophthalmitis revealed Gram-positive microflora in 100 % of cases. There were also significant differences between the groups in the intravitreal, systemic and subconjunctival antibiotic therapy used.Conclusion. Patients with penetrating eye injury and foreign body, complicated by endophthalmitis, are characterized by more signs of inflammation, pronounced damage to the eye and its structures.
