This case report describes a rare organism causing endogenous endophthalmitis in a patient with sickle cell disease.
A case report was conducted.
A 41-year-old man with sickle cell disease presented with acute onset of blurry vision of the right eye. His visual acuity was counting fingers in the right eye and 20/20 in the left eye. He had ophthalmic findings of hypopyon and vitritis in the right eye, consistent with endophthalmitis. He was treated with intravitreal and systemic antibiotics. Vitreous cultures grew . His visual acuity at follow-up visits improved to 20/40 in the setting of improved vitritis.
This is the first case describing , a rare causative organism of endogenous endophthalmitis, in a patient with sickle cell disease. More studies are needed to improve the early detection and treatment of this unusual organism.
本病例报告描述了一种罕见的病原体，它在一名镰状细胞病患者中引发了内源性眼内炎。
进行了一例病例报告。
一名41岁的镰状细胞病男性患者出现右眼视力模糊的急性发作。他的右眼视力为眼前指数，左眼视力为20/20。他的右眼有前房积脓和玻璃体炎的眼科检查结果，与眼内炎相符。他接受了玻璃体内和全身抗生素治疗。玻璃体培养生长出……在玻璃体炎改善的情况下，他随访时的视力提高到了20/40。
这是第一例描述……（一种内源性眼内炎的罕见病原体）在镰状细胞病患者中的病例。需要更多研究来改善对这种不寻常病原体的早期检测和治疗。
