Despite the available treatment modalities for Bacillus endophthalmitis, the high rates of vision and globe loss suggest a need for further research on targeted therapies against Bacillus cereus at the molecular and inflammatory levels. Careful attention to symptoms and immediate diagnosis are crucial in managing this condition.
Introduction Bacillus endophthalmitis is a medical emergency that needs a prompt diagnosis and management to prevent further complications. Various treatment strategies are available for Bacillus endophthalmitis including intraocular antibiotics injections, anti-inflammatory medications, and interventional surgeries. Areas covered The aim of this article is to review the clinical manifestation and treatment strategies and outcomes of Bacillus cereus endophthalmitis. Expert opinion Despite current treatment modalities available for Bacillus endophthalmitis, the rate of vision and globe loss remains high. Careful attention to the patient's symptoms and history, immediate diagnosis, and intensive treatment are necessary in the management of this illness. Future studies investigating targeted therapies against Bacillus cereus on the molecular and inflammatory level are needed.
