An important distinctive feature of our study is the use of PCR for microbial analysis. Chiquet et al. found culture positivity in only 32% aqueous samples as compared to 61% on PCR in their postcataract surgery endophthalmitis case series study. Using culture and PCR combination, diagnosis can be made in 71% cases. Similarly, Therese et al. showed that by inclusion of PCR, detection of microorganisms increased from 46.5% to 75.8% cases. Likewise, Anand et al. showed a high sensitivity for detection of fungus using PCR in endophthalmitis.
