Endogenous endophthalmitis secondary to perirenal abscess
Introduction Endogenous Endophthalmitis is a rare ocular infection but with poor visual prognosis for most patients. Its most frequent etiology is Klebsiella spp., associated with hepatic abscesses and less frequently with perirenal abscesses. Case presentation We present a 61‐year‐old woman with a...

| description | Introduction Endogenous Endophthalmitis is a rare ocular infection but with poor visual prognosis for most patients. Its most frequent etiology is Klebsiella spp., associated with hepatic abscesses and less frequently with perirenal abscesses. Case presentation We present a 61‐year‐old woman with a history of poorly controlled diabetes mellitus 2 that consulted several times for acute pyelonephritis with torpid evolution, associated with endogenous endophthalmitis in her right eye that required evisceration. Conclusion Adequate management of acute pyelonephritis can avoid local or distant complications, such as endogenous endophthalmitis, an infection with poor visual prognosis that requires high clinical suspicion for timely management with better visual outcomes and lower morbimortality. |
