Atypical mycobacterial infection in anophthalmic sockets with porous orbital implant exposure
American Journal of Ophthalmology Aug 10, 2018
Choi YJ, et al. - In anophthalmic sockets with porous orbital implant exposure, experts gauged the clinical features and risk factors of atypical mycobacterial infection. Medical records of all patients who had surgical correction of porous orbital implant exposure were reviewed for this study. For atypical mycobacterial infection in the anophthalmic socket, researchers thought that the most important underlying risk factor was peg- or motility coupling post (MCP)-related exposure of the porous orbital implant. For treatment, surgical removal of the infected orbital implant is needed with long-term antibiotics.
