PURPOSE: To determine the spectrum, clinical profile and risk factors for poor visual outcome in @entity1 of post @entity231 surgery @entity3225 . METHODS: Data from 124 eyes were analysed. Various clinical and microbiological parameters were evaluated and risk factors for unfavourable outcome identified. RESULTS: The mean age of the @entity1 was 59.50 +/- 13.75 years; 60.5% were males. The median surgery-symptom interval was 7 days (mean 15.81 +/- 24.01) and the medium symptom-presentation interval 7.5 days (mean 14.19 +/- 19.13). @entity2687 were seen in 29%, hypopyon in 62 (50%). Smear positivity was 52.5% and culture positivity 38%. Equivocal microbiological positivity was seen in 22 (18%), bacterial 12 (10%), fungal 27 (21.5%), polymicrobial 8 (6.5%) and negative 55 (44%). 20% eyes had @entity1018 at last follow-up. Poor visual acuity at presentation, presence of intraocular lens, shorter surgery-symptom interval, corneal and surgical wound infiltrates, loss of red reflex, microbiological positivity of the vitreous tap and systemic @entity6 were significant risk factors for unfavourable outcome. CONCLUSION: Our data highlights a low culture positivity and a predominance of fungal pathogens as a cause of post @entity231 surgery @entity3225 . The visual outcome in these @entity1 is still dismal and better treatment strategies should be evolved keeping in mind the microbiological spectrum. The risk factors identified may be helpful in prognosticating the outcome in such @entity1 .
