PlumX metrics:

Intracameral application of Aprokam (cefuroxime) during cataract surgery is documented to significantly reduce the incidence of endophthalmitis. It is very important to consider its very rare but potentially very dangerous complication, that is anaphylactic reaction of varying severity in patients at risk of such allergy. It is necessary to take a detailed history and check all relevant medical records concerning previous treatment to avoid this complication.
