Abstract

We describe a diabetic patient with left eye endogenous endophthalmitis due to hypervirulent hypermucoviscous Klebsiella pneumoniae (HKVP) originating from right renal abscesses. A rare source of HVKP causing endogenous endophthalmitis. Despite treatment with intravenous ceftazidime and pars plana vitrectomy, the patient required evisceration of the left eye. A high index of suspicion for endogenous endophthalmitis and awareness of the virulence and potential antibiotic resistance of HVKP strains in the community is needed to avoid vision and life-threatening consequences.
