ABSTRACT
The endophthalmitis is an ophthalmic emergency and it usually takes a tragic course, so its early diagnosis and appropriate treatment are urgently mandatory to preserve the vision and the eyeball. The authors found metastatic endophthalmitis developed during the course of acute pyelonephritis of two diabetic patients. In spite of aggressive topical and systemic managements, the disesed eyes were brought about to enucleation. The pathogens were proved to be Escherichia coli by culture of the specimen obtained from the vitreous. In accordance with cases and book review, it is emphasized that early recognition and aggressive treatments are essential in prevention of phthisis and blindness.
