Endogenous Staphylococcus aureus endophthalmitis: Clinical features, treatments, and visual outcomes.

This document summarizes a study on endogenous Staphylococcus aureus endophthalmitis (ESaE), a rare but serious complication that can lead to vision loss. The study focused on cases in Taiwan and examined the source of infection, risk factors, treatments, and visual outcomes. The most common predisposing factor for ESaE was diabetes mellitus, and septic arthritis was the most frequently identified source of infection. Poor initial visual acuity and retinal detachment were predictors for worse visual outcomes. All MRSA and MSSA strains were susceptible to vancomycin. The study did not find a statistically significant difference in visual acuity outcomes between the MRSA and MSSA groups. [Extracted from the article]
