Late onset @entity3225 associated with filtering XXXX .

@entity1 @entity4530 @entity6932 @entity86 @entity3225
Thirty-six cases of late onset @entity3225 in @entity1 with filtering @entity4530 are presented. Onset of @entity3225 ranged from 4 months to 60 years after @entity4530 formation. Possible contributing factors could be identified only in a minority of @entity1 . Aqueous, vitreous or both were cultured in all cases. Eighty-three percent of eyes were culture positive. Streptococci were the most frequent causative organisms, isolated from 57% of culture positive eyes. Twenty-three percent of eyes grew @entity6932 . Only two cases were caused by staphylococci. In general, the visual outcome was poor, probably primarily due to the virulence of the infecting organisms. Endophthalmitis remains a risk even many years after creation of a filtering @entity4530 . The microbiologic spectrum in this clinical setting is considerably different from that of recent @entity86 . Based on the bacteriology and clinical course of the @entity1 presented, recommendations for management are discussed.
