PURPOSE: The aim of this study was to review the clinical profile including predisposing systemic conditions, microorganisms responsible, clinical presentation, and outcomes of @entity3225 ( @entity3225 ) in South India. DESIGN: This study is a retrospective, noncomparative case series. METHODS: This study presents a retrospective analysis of records of @entity1 with @entity3225 in a 10-year period. RESULTS: A total of 61 eyes of 58 @entity1 were included in the study. Preceding @entity262 or surgery was noted in 31 @entity1 (53.4%). No predisposing condition was found in 27 @entity1 (46.5%). All eyes had severe diffuse @entity3225 . Culture positivity was seen in 34 of 58 @entity1 (58.6%). Gram-positive organisms were isolated in 9 cases (15.5%), and Gram-negative organisms were isolated in 20 cases (34.5%). @entity796 (13.8%) was the most common isolate. Eleven eyes (18%) were managed medically with intravenous and intravitreal antibiotics, and 38 eyes (62.3%) also underwent vitrectomy. Eight eyes (13.1%) required repeat vitrectomy, and 12 eyes (19.7%) were eviscerated. The mean follow-up was 16.2    13.9 months. Final visual acuity of 20/200 or better was seen in 29.5% eyes. A favorable outcome was noted in culture-positive @entity1 (P = 0.03) and in @entity1 with no predisposing causes. CONCLUSIONS: This study provides information about the clinical and microbiologic profile of @entity3225 . Aggressive medical and surgical treatment can result in favorable outcomes.
