Endogenous Panophthalmitis caused by sphingomonas paucimobilis; A postpartum devastating rare condition
Acta Ophthalmologica, 2015Co-Authors: A.a. Ozcan, E. EsenAbstract:Purpose Endogenous Panophthalmitis is known as an infrequent condition with poor prognosis that mainly occurs in patients having underlying medical conditions. We present a very rare case of endogenous Panophthalmitis in a postpartum patient. Methods A 31-year-old woman was admitted with vision loss and pain in the right eye for two days that began the day after the delivery. Results Her ophthalmologic examination revealed Panophthalmitis. Despite intensive medication corneal melting and spontaneous perforation occurred, so evisceration had to be performed. Sphingomonas paucimobilis, an opportunistic infection agent, was isolated in the conjunctival swab and evisceration specimen cultures of the patient. Conclusions It is known that immune system is influenced and inflammatory responses are altered in pregnants and puerperants, so any symptom of eye infection should not be ignored in peripartum and puerperium periods.

Postpartum Endogenous Panophthalmitis Caused by Sphingomonas Paucimobilis
Cukurova University, 2015Co-Authors: E. Esen, Altan Ozcan, Firas Simsek, Ismail UndarAbstract:We present a very rare case of endogenous Panophthalmitis in a postpartum patient. A 31-year-old woman was admitted with vision loss and pain in the right eye for two days that began the day after the delivery. Her ophthalmologic examination revealed Panophthalmitis and she was hospitalized for treatment and investigation. Despite intensive medication corneal melting and spontaneous perforation occurred, so evisceration had to be performed. Sphingomonas paucimobilis, an opportunistic infection agent, was isolated in the conjunctival swab and evisceration specimen cultures of the patient. It is known that immune system is influenced and inflammatory responses are altered in pregnants and puerperants, so any symptom of eye infection should not be ignored in peripartum and puerperium periods.

Panophthalmitis due to clostridium septicum
American Journal of Ophthalmology, 2004Co-Authors: Daniel C Schickner, Alon Yarkoni, Paul D Langer, Robert Folberg, Xue Chen, Larry Frohman, Lucian V Del PrioreAbstract:PURPOSE: To describe patient survival in a rare case of endogenous Clostridium septicum sepsis with Panophthalmitis. DESIGN: Observational case report. METHODS: Both eyes of a female patient were examined in a hospital setting. RESULTS: A 68-year-old woman had right orbital pain, proptosis, Panophthalmitis, mental confusion and fever for 2 days. Blood cultures were significant for Clostridium septicum. The patient did not improve after treatment with intravenous broad-spectrum antibiotics and the right eye was enucleated. The patient survived the acute infection and extensive systemic evaluation revealed an undiagnosed colon carcinoma that may have been responsible for colonization and vascular dissemination of Clostridium septicum. CONCLUSIONS: Clostridium septicum Panophthalmitis and sepsis can be the presenting sign in patients with unsuspected malignancies, particularly colon cancer. Patients can survive the infection with aggressive therapy with systemic antibiotics combined with removal of the infected tissue.
