  • Abstract
  • Look Inside

We observed endogenous bacterial endophthalmitis in 4 eyes of 3 patients. Liver abscess was found as the causative lesion in one case. Diabetes mellitus had been present in another case. All the eyes underwent vitrectomy. From the vitreous or aquous specimen, Escherichia coli was isolated in 1 eye, Staphylococcus aureus in 1 eye, and Klebsiella pneumoniae in 2 eyes of one case. Three eyes resulted in phthisis bulbi and one eye could be saved with the final visual acuity of 0.04. These cases illustrate the necessity of early systemic examinations and diagnostic vitrectomy in cases of rapidly progressive endophthalmitis with hypopyon.
