Abstract. Purpose:To report a case of liver abscess detected after onset of endophthalmitis. Case:A 73-year-old woman presented with pain and eyelid swelling in the right since 3 weeks before. She had been hospitalized and treated with systemic antibiotics since 4 days before. She had been suffering from diabetes mellitus and schizophrenia. Findings:Visual acuity was no light perception right. The right eye showed intense signs of inflammation in the anterior chamber. Echography showed findings suggestive of vitreous opacity and subretinal abscess. Computed tomography(CT)led to the diagnosis of liver abscess. She showed increased leukocytes and blood sugar level suggestive of disseminated intracascular coagulation syndrome(DIC). Endoscopic drainage of the bile, as well as aspirated specimen from liver abscess and the vitreous, showed Klebsiella pneumoniae. After improvement of systemic manifestations, she was referred to another hospital 12 days after her initial visit. Visual acuity in the right eye failed to improve. Conclusion:This patient was a typical case of invasive liver abscess syndrome due to K. pneumoniae. Visual outcome was unfavorable due to delayed recognition.
