Bilateral Endogenous Endophthalmitis Secondary to Staphylococcus aureus Bacteremia.

Bacterial endogenous endophthalmitis is caused by a breach of the blood-ocular barrier by pathogens originating from distant sites. It is a rare cause of endophthalmitis and can lead to devastating outcomes without prompt and adequate treatment. We report the case of a 50-year-old woman with a history of type II diabetes mellitus who experienced an episode of acute myocardial infarction complicated by an acute exacerbation of chronic kidney disease, catheter-related infection, bloodstream infection, bacterial endocarditis, and bilateral endogenous endophthalmitis confirmed by blood culture and bilateral vitreous culture showing growth of methicillin-sensitive (MSSA).
