ABSTRACT
Endogenous bacterial endophthalmitis (EBE) is a rare but vision-threatening complication of bacteria spreading contiguously through the blood-ocular border. The condition is frequently associated with a poor visual prognosis and has even resulted in death. We present a case of a 48-year-old female with bilateral endogenous methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA)endophthalmitis further complicated by septic emboli, endocarditis, osteomyelitis, and septic polyarthralgia. Her vision did not return despite aggressive antibiotic therapy and urgent bilateral vitrectomy. This case presents an interesting and rare clinical vignette resulting in infection and damage of multiple organ systems that required aggressive management and carefully orchestrated multidisciplinary care.
