Two Cases of Bilateral Endogenous Klebsiella pneumoniae Endophthalmitis in Primary Klebsiella pneumoniae Liver Abscess Patients

Purpose: To report 2 cases of bilateral endogenous endophthalmitis in patients with Klebsiella pneumoniae primary liver abscess. Case summary: A 78-year-old woman and a 76-year-old woman presented with bilateral blurred vision for 2 to 3 days. The women had fever, cough, and chills for 5 to 10 days. Abdominal computed tomography revealed liver abscess and ophthalmologic examination results suggested bilateral endophthalmitis. In both patients, Klebsiella pneumoniae was identified from the liver abscess aspirate. In one patient, Klebsiella pneumoniae was also identified from a vitreous sample. Both patients lost their vision despite intravitreal and intravenous antibiotics injection.
