Endogenous Ochrobactrum anthropi endophthalmitis.

PURPOSE: To describe bilateral endogenous endophthalmitis caused by Ochrobactrum anthropi in a partially immunosuppressed patient who had undergone central venous access for hyperalimentation and home intravenous therapy. METHODS: Case report. RESULTS: Blood cultures were positive for O anthropi. Vitreous cultures grew a gram-variable bacillus. The patient's ocular and systemic condition markedly improved after intravitreal antibiotics and systemic ciprofloxacin. CONCLUSIONS: Ochrobactrum anthropi may cause endogenous endophthalmitis in patients with a history of indwelling catheters for venous access or other permanent medical devices.

Microtuboplasty as an outpatient procedure.

Fifteen cases of microtuboplasty were done as outpatient procedures at low cost and with increased patient convenience. Advances in outpatient surgery at free-standing surgery centers have allowed many new patient care innovations, and microsurgery should now be considered an outpatient procedure for gynecologic patients. Outpatient microtuboplastic surgery is not only feasible but perhaps preferable to that done as an inpatient procedure.
