Endophthalmitis is an infection of the vitreous or aqueous humor of the eye. Although it rarely occurs in the neonatal period it has been previously diagnosed in preterm infants.Endogenous endophthalmitis is when eye infection is secondary to septicemia and represent 20% of the cases of endophthalmitis. Pseudomonas aeruginosa is responsible for more than 75% of invasive neonatal eye infections. The course of pseudomonal endophthalmitis is typically fulminant, developing over hours even in early diagnosis. For survivors, the usual result is blindness of the affected eye.We report the case of a preterm infant who developed septicemia and was later diagnosed as having a pseudomonas endophthalmitis.
眼内炎是眼睛玻璃体或房水的感染。虽然它在新生儿期很少发生，但此前已在早产儿中被诊断出。内源性眼内炎是指眼部感染继发于败血症，占眼内炎病例的20%。铜绿假单胞菌导致超过75%的侵袭性新生儿眼部感染。铜绿假单胞菌性眼内炎的病程通常很凶险，即使早期诊断，也会在数小时内发展。对于幸存者来说，通常的结果是患眼失明。我们报告了一例早产儿发生败血症，后来被诊断为铜绿假单胞菌性眼内炎的病例。
