Abstract :

Fulminant endogenous endophthalmits, a relatively rare intraocular infection, caused by haematogenous spread of bacteria or fungi is usually seen in immune–deficient patients. We report a case of methicillin resistant Staphylococcus epidermidis causing endogenous endophthalmitis following platelet transfusion and intravenous antibiotic therapy for a suspected dengue fever.
