A one-eyed 67-year-old man with 20/400 vision, dense cataract, previously failed trabeculectomy and medically uncontrolled advanced glaucoma underwent a single-site phacoemulsification with repeat trabeculectomy and mitomycin C. One-week postoperatively, vision in the right eye improved to 20/120, good bleb and intraocular pressure (IOP) of 14 mm Hg. By third postoperative week, patient presented to the emergency with diminished vision, pain and redness in right eye of 2 days duration and was diagnosed to have bleb-related endophthalmitis (BRE). Vitreous biopsy, smear from the bleb were taken and underwent pars plana vitrectomy with intraocular antibiotic injection. Smears and cultures were negative however, aqueous DNA-PCR was positive for Revisited history revealed treated pulmonary tuberculosis 3 years ago with a positive Mantoux test (17 mm) and hilar prominence on chest X-ray. One month after starting anti-tubercular therapy (ATT), the BRE resolved and vision improved to 20/60 with IOP of 14 mm Hg and the ATT was continued.
一名67岁独眼男性,视力为20/400,患有致密性白内障,既往小梁切除术失败且药物治疗无法控制晚期青光眼,接受了单切口超声乳化联合重复小梁切除术及丝裂霉素C治疗。术后一周,右眼视力提高到20/120,形成良好的滤过泡,眼压(IOP)为14毫米汞柱。术后第三周,患者因右眼视力下降、疼痛和眼红2天就诊于急诊,被诊断为滤过泡相关眼内炎(BRE)。进行了玻璃体活检、取滤过泡涂片,并接受了经睫状体平坦部玻璃体切除术及眼内抗生素注射。涂片和培养结果均为阴性,但房水DNA聚合酶链反应(PCR)检测结核分枝杆菌呈阳性。回顾病史发现患者3年前曾接受肺结核治疗,结核菌素试验(曼托试验)呈阳性(17毫米),胸部X光显示肺门突出。开始抗结核治疗(ATT)一个月后,BRE得到缓解,视力提高到20/60,眼压为14毫米汞柱,继续进行ATT治疗。
