Except for two eyes of a patient, vitreous aspirates were cultured from all 11 eyes to isolate the causative organism. These eleven eyes also received intravitreal injections. All patients were treated with systemic antibiotics. RESULTS Two cases had bilateral endophthalmitis. Ages ranged from 4 d to 11 years. Five cases were undiagnosed and treated, before being referred to our center. Ten of the 13 eyes underwent a core vitrectomy. The vitrectomy was done at an average on the second day after presenting(range 0-20 d). Five of the 11 vitreous aspirates showed isolates. The incriminating organisms were bacteria in three and fungus in two. An underlying predisposing factor was found in seven patients. At a mean follow-up 21.5 mo, outcome was good in 7 eyes of 6 cases(54%), five eyes of four cases(38%) ended up with phthisis bulbi while one child died of systemic complications. CONCLUSION Endogenous endophthalmitis is a challenge for ophtha-lmologists. Early diagnosis and intervention is the key for a better outcome. 关 键 词：PEDIATRIC ENDOGENOUS ENDOPHTHALMITIS OUTCOMES SOUTH India FUNGAL
