Bilateral Endogenous Klebsiella pneumoniae Endophthalmitis in Culture-Negative Liver Abscess Requiring Evisceration: A Case Report and Review of Literature.

Endogenous endophthalmitis is a very rare but potentially devastating intraocular inflammation resulting from hematogenous dissemination into the eye from a remote focus of infection. We present a case of a 49-year-old Vietnamese gentleman with underlying hypertension and ischemic heart disease who presented with sudden onset bilateral eye blurring of vision for five days associated with fever, chills, and rigors. He started to have a chesty cough with right-sided pleuritic chest pain for three days as well as shortness of breath, which developed one day prior to admission.

Evaluation of Visual Acuity, Macular Thickness, and Level of Proteinuria in Children with Nephrotic Syndrome.

Purpose: Macular edema, serous retinal detachment, and retinal pigment epithelial detachment have been reported in patients with nephrotic syndrome. However, there is limited data about macular thickness in children with nephrotic syndrome. The aim of this study was to compare the mean macular thickness in children with nephrotic syndrome and in a control group and to correlate it with visual acuity and level of proteinuria.
