ABSTRACT
Due to the need for treatment guidelines for endophthalmitis in impoverished areas, we have formulated an approach which takes into account pharmacokinetic data, keeping in mind that, whether oral or intramuscular, antibiotics must achieve therapeutic intraocular levels, antibiotic susceptibility of the most common pathogens in endophthalmitis, and routine availability of bioequivalent generics in the areas in question. In this work, we present the basic guidelines for the management of postoperative endophthalmitis by ophthalmology services in impoverished areas.
