The etiologies included endogenous endophthalmitis ( 6 ), blebitis ( 3 ), Ahmed valve implantation (3, 2 of them with late infection), postcataract surgery ( 3 ), intravitreal injections ( 4 ), penetrating injury ( 2 ), and other surgical procedures ( 3 ). Of the postcataract surgery cases, 1 was a congenital cataract surgery, and 2 were referrals. There were no endophthalmitis cases in 4603 adults undergoing cataract surgery in our department during this period. There were 14 positive cultures: 1 was candida and the rest bacteria. Ten of the bacteria cases were Gram-positive cocci (predominantly strep species), 3 were Gram-negative, and coagulase negative staphylococci were detected in 2 cases.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Our study indicates a significant change in the case mix of endophthalmitis. The past leading cause, cataract surgery, was dramatically reduced, and intravitreal injections became a major cause. The change in etiologies, and possibly in the microbial flora, warrants reconsideration of the rules that guided the management of endophthalmitis since the Endophthalmitis Vitrectomy Study.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.5301\/ejo.5000642","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2015,6,25]],"date-time":"2015-06-25T06:28:54Z","timestamp":1435213734000},"page":"71-77","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":9,"title":["Endophthalmitis Today: A Multispecialty Ophthalmology Department Perspective"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"26","author":[{"given":"Elad","family":"Ben Artsi","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Goldschleger Eye Institute, Sheba Medical Center, Tel Hashomer, Israel, affiliated to Sackler School of Medicine, Tel Aviv University, Ramat Gan -
