Background: The authors report the rare, but potentially blinding, complication of bilateral endogenous bacterial endophthalmitis observed in a 35-year-old man during his admission to a regional burns center following a burn injury from an electronic cigarette device. This complication has been reported only twice in burn patients following extensive and life-threatening burn injuries. This patient underwent surgical debridement and split-thickness skin grafting of non-major burns as per standard of practice.
