We report a case of group G Streptococcus endophthalmitis following an intravitreal ranibizumab injection for a choroidal neovascular membrane. Pars plana vitrectomy was applied for endophthalmitis and group G Streptococcus cultures were isolated in the vitreous samples taken from the patient. Twenty-four hours following pars plana vitrectomy the patient underwent myocardial infarction and cardiac arrest. To our knowledge this is the first reported case of group G Streptococcus endophthalmitis following an intravitreal injection.
我们报告了1例玻璃体内注射雷珠单抗治疗脉络膜新生血管膜后发生的G群链球菌性眼内炎病例。针对眼内炎进行了玻璃体切割术,从患者采集的玻璃体样本中分离出G群链球菌培养物。玻璃体切割术后24小时,患者发生心肌梗死和心脏骤停。据我们所知,这是首次报道的玻璃体内注射后发生G群链球菌性眼内炎的病例。
