Abstract
Objective
To analyze the clinical characteristics of infective endophthalmitis due to sharp material injury in children and juveniles.
Methods
A retrospective study. The data of 42 eyes of 42 children with infective endophthalmitis caused by sharp material injury from Jan. 2012 to Dec. 2017 in Hebei Provincial Eye hospital were analyzed. All patients were followed up for 12 months after surgery.
Results
There were 35 males and 7 females. The age ranged 1 to 18 years, with average of (7.04±3.97) years. The cause of sharp material injury in preschool group were mainly scissors, learning instrument in the school age group, and iron wire in the juveniles group. The most common clinical characteristics was traumatic cataract. Preoperative visual acuity was no light perception (NLP) in 2 cases, light perception (LP)-hand movement (HM) in 32 cases, counting finger (CF)-0.04 in 4 cases, 0.05-0.25 in 2 cases, 0.3-0.5 in 2 cases. Postoperative visual acuity was NLP in 2 cases, LP-HM in 18 cases, CF-0.04 in 13 cases, 0.05-0.25 in 5 cases, 0.3-0.5 in 2 cases, ≥0.6 in 2 cases. The difference was statistically significant between before and after surgery(Z=2.248, P=0.025).
Conclusion
Scissors, learning instrument and iron wire are the most common causes of infective endophthalmitis due to sharp material injury in preschool, school-age children and juveniles, respectively. Intravitreal injection and vitrectomy are the best treatment for infective endophthalmitis in children and juveniles.
