Abstract
Endophthalmitis is a clinical diagnosis, confirmed with subsequent laboratory testing. Endophthalmitis must be distinguished from noninfectious inflammation as well as noninflammatory cellular infiltration, including hemorrhage and tumor cells. Endophthalmitis with negative intraocular cultures is relatively common, reported in the range of about 20% following intraocular surgery and up to 50% following intravitreal injection.
