An outbreak of acute post-cataract surgery Pseudomonas sp. endophthalmitis caused by contaminated hydrophilic intraocular lens solution.


Abstract

Positive microbiology and the ERIC-PCR results proved that contamination of hydrophilic intraocular lenses and the preservative solution was the source of infection in this outbreak.

Early detection and a planned approach during the outbreak helped us to achieve good visual and anatomic outcomes, even though the offending organism was identified as P. aeruginosa.
