Article Synopsis
- Endogenous endophthalmitis is a rare and serious infection often linked to infective endocarditis, primarily caused by coagulase-negative staphylococcus, especially in patients with prosthetic heart valves.
- A case of a 70-year-old female with chronic renal failure on dialysis presented with endogenous endophthalmitis; tests revealed the presence of coagulase-negative staphylococcus and vegetation in the heart, leading to IV antibiotics and poor ocular prognosis.
- The condition emphasizes the need for urgent diagnosis and treatment of underlying infections, particularly endocarditis, as early intervention is crucial for improving patient outcomes.
