Abstract

Bilateral endogenous endophthalmitis is a rare complication of endocarditis. We present the case of a 72-year-old female who presented with heart failure and bilateral endogenous endophthalmitis. Endocarditis was confirmed on transesophageal echocardiography. All cultures were negative, but 16S rDNA sequencing on vitreal aspirates identified Streptococcus dysgalactiae as the likely pathogen.

摘要

双侧内源性眼内炎是心内膜炎的罕见并发症。我们报告了一例 72 岁女性，因心力衰竭和双侧内源性眼内炎就诊。经经食管超声心动图证实有心内膜炎。所有培养均为阴性，但玻璃体吸出物的 16S rDNA 测序鉴定出酿脓链球菌可能是病原体。
