Endogenous Endophthalmitis: An Unusual Presentation of Infective Endocarditis Caused by Streptococcus pseudoporcinus

Endogenous endophthalmitis is an uncommon but severe intraocular infection that results from the hematogenous spread of microorganisms from a systemic focus.We report a rare case where endogenous endophthalmitis was the initial presentation of infective endocarditis caused by Streptococcus pseudoporcinus, an organism infrequently associated with invasive infections.This case highlights the importance of considering a systemic source when evaluating patients with endogenous endophthalmitis, especially in those with predisposing risk factors like diabetes.

Abstract

Endogenous endophthalmitis is an uncommon but severe intraocular infection that results from the hematogenous spread of microorganisms from a systemic focus.We report a rare case where endogenous endophthalmitis was the initial presentation of infective endocarditis caused by Streptococcus pseudoporcinus, an organism infrequently associated with invasive infections.This case highlights the importance of considering a systemic source when evaluating patients with endogenous endophthalmitis, especially in those with predisposing risk factors like diabetes.
