Abstract Purpose:To report a case of bacterial endophthalmitis due to skin ulcer in a previously healthy young man.

Case:An 18-year-old man undergoing treatment for skin ulcer suddenly noticed pain and impaired vision in the right eye.

Findings:Visual acuity in the right eye was counting fingers. The right eye showed hypopyon, fibrinous exudation in the anterior chamber, and severe vitreous opacity. His left eye showed normal findings. Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus(MRSA)was cultured from subcutaneous abscess. Because of the effectiveness of intravitreal antimicrobial agents, we diagnosed the patient with endogenous endophthalmitis caused by a subcutaneous abscess. The patient's symptoms improved after vitrectomy.

Conclusion:It is very important to distinguish infectiousness and non-infectiousness endophthalmitis.
