Resumo

Endogenous bacterial endophthalmitis is an uncommon disease, secondary to hematogenous spread of a septic focus. Despite advances in diagnostic and therapeutic methods, it remains a potential cause of blindness. We report a case of a diabetic patient with endogenous endophthalmitis of the right eye secondary to an Escherichia coli bacteremia of urinary origin. The evolution was torpid, with loss of visual acuity and evisceration of the right eye.
