In this article the authors present a case of bilateral endophthalmitis caused by Staphylococcus aureus. The characteristics, the treatment and the prognosis of endogenous bacterial endophthalmitis are discussed. The patient was diabetic and treated for a septicaemia caused by Staphylococcus aureus.
