A case of Staphylococcus caprae endophthalmitis in a young patient following pars plana vitrectomy for symptomatic vitreous floaters is reported here. Recent literature suggests that there is an increasing trend of performing pars plana vitrectomy for symptomatic floaters. Although rare, the potential risk of endophthalmitis should be explicitly discussed with patients considering surgical intervention for vitreous floaters.
本文报道了一例年轻患者在因症状性玻璃体混浊行玻璃体切割术后发生山羊葡萄球菌性眼内炎的病例。近期文献表明,因症状性飞蚊症而行玻璃体切割术的趋势呈上升态势。尽管罕见,但对于考虑因玻璃体混浊进行手术干预的患者,应明确讨论眼内炎的潜在风险。
