Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
Panophthalmitis is a severe ocular condition that can lead to devastating outcomes, such as evisceration, if not promptly treated. It typically originates endogenously, with urinary tract infection being a common primary source of infection. This report describes a rare case of a 61-year-old Malay patient with left eye panophthalmitis. Ocular culture revealed , while systemic septic workup yielded negative results. Due to the severity of the ocular condition at presentation and the disproportionate level of pain the patient had, an immunocompromised state was suspected and later the diagnosis of diabetes mellitus was confirmed via laboratory investigation. Despite the delay in presentation, which hindered early intervention, the patient's eyeball was successfully salvaged through a treatment regimen involving three injections of intravitreal antibiotic administered at 48 to 72-hour intervals and a complete course of intravenous antibiotics. This case report highlights the importance of prompt treatment to salvage an eye from evisceration in the case of panophthalmitis.
