Abstract

Introduction: The Endophthalmitis Vitrectomy Study revealed that only a small percentage of endophthalmitis cases, specifically 4.1%, were caused by Gram-negative organisms, and the most frequent of these was Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Moreover, poor visual outcomes were consistently linked to this bacterium. Objective: To provide knowledge regarding Pseudomonas aeruginosa as a cause of exogenous endophthalmitis and its management. Case Illustration: A 65-year-old male was admitted to the Emergency Department due to pain and blurred vision in his left eye. After cataract surgery, three days prior, these symptoms had been present for four days. The patient had conjunctival redness, corneal edema, posterior synechia of the iris, and very low visual acuity in the affected eye. A B-mode ocular ultrasonography revealed a considerable vitreous opacity and an aberrant echo in the left eye, suggesting endophthalmitis in the patient. The patient underwent emergency surgery immediately, including Pars plana vitrectomy (PPV), Silicon oil, IOL extraction, and intravitreal antibiotics injection. Moreover, Pseudomonas aeruginosa was found in the vitreous by a smear test and culture process. On the first day after the surgery, the patient's vision improved to light perception but with incorrect projection. A Fundus exam showed an attached retina with silicon oil and no macular edema. After one month, the patient's visual acuity improved to 2/60. Conclusions: Identifying the causative organisms in infectious endophthalmitis is critical in determining treatment and visual results. Pars Plana Vitrectomy (PPV) followed by intravitreal injection of antibiotics as the "gold standard" treatment for acute postoperative endophthalmitis.

Abstract

Introduction: Uveitis is a sight-threatening condition characterized by inflammation in the uveal tract. In Aceh, data on the incidence of uveitis remains unavailable despite numerous reported cases. This study aims to analyze uveitis characteristics in Aceh, Indonesia, and provide information regarding the causes and patterns of inflammation to guide diagnostic and therapeutic approaches. Methods: A retrospective descriptive study was conducted using medical records from Dr. Zainoel Abidin Hospital from uveitis patients between January 2023 and August 2024. Data were analyzed for demographics, clinical presentation, etiology, management, and complications. Results: There were 60 patients with 92 eyes affected with the mean age between 20-44 years. Bilateral involvement occurred in 53.3% of cases with the common chief complaint being blurry vision (53.3%). Tuberculosis was the leading infectious cause (41.3%), while 30.4% of cases were idiopathic. Complications, including cataracts (52%) and glaucoma (12.6%) were prevalent. Conclusion: This study highlights the pattern of uveitis in Aceh, with tuberculosis as the leading cause of infection. Further research into strategies is required to expedite diagnosis and treatment by following local infection trends.

Abstract

Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a chronic autoimmune disease that mainly affects women and has various clinical manifestations involving multiple organs. The use of hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) provides some advantages. This study aimed to analyze hematological and ocular effects following short-term HCQ administration in SLE patients. A cross-sectional study was conducted from April to July 2022 at Zainoel Abidin Hospital, Banda Aceh, Indonesia, involving 23 female SLE patients. Blood laboratory parameters were assessed, and an ophthalmologist performed ocular examinations. The study showed an average hemoglobin of 11.6 g/dL. Other blood laboratory results were within normal limits. The mean duration of SLE diagnosis and HCQ use was 21.0 months and 9.7 months, respectively. There was no correlation between HCQ use duration and hematological parameters (hemoglobin, leukocytes, and thrombocytes; p values 0.38, 0.14, and 0.62, respectively). This study showed that only one SLE patient taking HCQ for less than five years had ocular problems. The prevalence of ocular and hematological effects in SLE patients treated with HCQ for less than five years is minimal.
