Ocular involvement in bacteraemia occurs with metastatic infection and has been identified as an independent risk factor for mortality. It manifests as either endophthalmitis or chorioretinitis and often leads to visual loss, particularly with delayed diagnosis. We present a case report of endogenous endophthalmitis and chorioretinitis in the background of methicillin-sensitive (MSSA) bacteraemia in a 23-year-old HIV-positive woman.
