Abstract
Endogenous endophthalmitis is a severe sight-threatening condition that requires urgent intervention. It is a rare complication of Escherichia coli septicemia. We herein report a case of left eye endogenous endophthalmitis with uncontrolled type 2 diabetes mellitus with pyelonephritis associated with Escherichia coli septicemia. Vitrectomy was done along with intravitreal antibiotics and steroids. There was significant improvement in vision after vitrectomy.
