Management of infectious endophthalmitis by combined vitrectomy and intraocular injection.

Combined therapeutic vitrectomy and intraocular antibiotic injection were used as a primary treatment for infectious endophthalmitis after diagnostic vitreous tap on seven patients. Two patients also received penetrating keratoplasty in addition to vitrectomy. Postoperatively, two patients achieved visual acuity of 20/30 or better, and five patients achieved 20/100 or better. One eye was enucleated.
