Overview
Historical Perspective
Classification
endogenous enophthalmitis may be classified into 2 subtypes: bacterial and fungal.
Pathophysiology
Endogenous bacterial endophthalmitis
Pathogenesis
Endogenous endophthalmitis is caused by the hematologic dissemination of an infection to the eyes. Most common extraocular foci of infection include liver abscess, pneumonia, endocarditis, and soft tissue infection. Endogenous endophthalmitis is commonly associated with immunosuppression or procedures that increase the risk for blood-borne infections, such as diabetes, HIV, malignancy, intravenous drug use, transplantation, immunosuppressive therapy, and catheterization. Under normal circumstances, the blood-ocular barrier provides a natural resistance against invading organisms. Following bacteremia, the blood-borne organisms permeate the blood-ocular barrier by:[1][2][3]
- Direct invasion (septic emboli)
- Change in vascular endothelium (caused by inflammatory mediators released during infection)
Gross Pathology
On gross pathology, findings in endogenous endophthalmitis may be similar to those in infections of exogenous origin.
Microscopic histopathological analysis
On microscopic histopathological analysis, infiltration of polymorphonuclear leukocytes or chronic inflammatory cells (depending on the duration of the inflammation) and destruction of ocular structures are characteristic findings of bacterial endophthalmitis.
Causes
Common causes of endogenous endophthalmitis include:[1][2][3]
Bacterial
- Gram-positive bacteria
- Streptococcus pneumoniae
- Staphylococcus aureus
- Bacillus cereus (primary bacterial cause in intravenous drug abusers)
- Gram-negative bacteria
- Neisseria meningitidis (pre-antibiotic era)
- Escherichia coli
- Klebsiella
