  • Title: Endogenous Endophthalmitis Associated with Pyogenic Liver Abscess Caused by Klebsiella pneumoniae.
    Author: Fujita M, Takahashi A, Imaizumi H, Hayashi M, Okai K, Abe K, Ohira H.
    Journal: Intern Med; 2019 Sep 01; 58(17):2507-2514. PubMed ID: 31118392.
    Abstract:
    We report 2 cases of endogenous endophthalmitis associated with pyogenic liver abscess caused by Klebsiella pneumoniae. Case 1 involved a 70-year-old woman and case 2 involved a 50-year-old man who were admitted to our hospital with diagnoses of liver abscess and endogenous endophthalmitis, respectively. The liver abscess resolved with antibiotics and percutaneous transhepatic drainage in case 1 and with antibiotics alone in case 2. Even though both cases underwent ophthalmic surgery, they were discharged from our hospital without the recovery of their eyesight. An earlier diagnosis and treatment are needed to improve the prognosis of endophthalmitis.
