A fulminant case of endophthalmitis due to Clostridium septicum is described. The patient presented with spontaneous gas gangrene panophthalmitis, with early visual loss and an air bubble in the anterior chamber. Death ensued, and necropsy revealed changes consistent with severe arterosclerotic cardiovascular disease, a relationship not uncommon in patients with clostridium sepsis. This association as well as the histopathology of the globe are discussed.
本文描述了一例由败血梭菌引起的暴发性眼内炎。患者表现为自发性气性坏疽性全眼球炎,早期视力丧失,前房有气泡。患者最终死亡,尸检显示存在与严重动脉硬化性心血管疾病相符的病变,这种关联在梭菌败血症患者中并不少见。本文讨论了这种关联以及眼球的组织病理学。
