ABSTRACT
ABSTRACT Staphylococcus hominis (S. hominis) is a coagulase-negative Staphylococci and an infrequent cause of endophthalmitis. Due to its ability to produce biofilm, especially in diabetic patients, strains may acquire antibiotic resistance. We present two cases of S. hominis endophthalmitis, one with acute endophthalmitis after intravitreal bevacizumab injection and one with chronic endophthalmitis following undiagnosed penetrating ocular trauma. Although there are only four published S. hominis endophthalmitis cases in the literature, to the best of our knowledge, there has been no previously published case after intravitreal bevacizumab.
RESUMO
RESUMO Staphylococcus hominis (S. hominis) é um estafilococo coagulase-negativo e uma causa pouco frequente de endoftalmite. Devido à sua capacidade de produzir biofilme, especialmente em pacientes diabéticos, cepas dessa bactéria podem adquirir resistência a antibióticos. Este relato apresenta dois casos de endoftalmite por S. hominis um de endoftalmite aguda após injeção intravítrea de bevacizumabe e outro de endoftalmite crônica após trauma ocular penetrante não diagnosticado. Embora existam apenas quatro casos de endoftalmite por S. hominis publicados na literatura, até onde sabemos não houve nenhum caso publicado anteriormente após bevacizumabe intravítreo.
