Abstract
Clinical cases

The cases are presented on 2 patients with bacterial endogenous endophthalmitis. The first one was caused by Streptococcus bovis, developed after colonoscopy, which had a poor outcome and resulted in evisceration. The second case was caused by a methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus from an arthrodesis complicated with a para-spinal abscess. It had an excellent visual outcome.

Discussion

Bacterial endogenous endophthalmitis is a rare, but serious ocular disease that occurs when bacteria reach the eye via the bloodstream. It requires a very early diagnosis based on the clinical symptoms and patient history. A suitable and specific treatment with intravenous and intravitreal antibiotics may prevent a bad visual prognosis in some cases.

Resumen
Casos clínicos

Presentamos 2 casos clínicos de endoftalmitis endógena bacteriana. El primero causado por Streptococcus bovis tras la realización de una colonoscopia, con mala evolución que acabó en evisceración. El segundo debido a un Staphylococcus aureus meticilin resistente procedente de un absceso paraespinal que complicaba una artrodesis, con excelente recuperación visual.

Discusión

La endoftalmitis endógena bacteriana es una enfermedad poco frecuente y grave en la que bacterias procedentes de un foco primario llegan por vía sanguínea hasta el ojo. El diagnóstico de sospecha ha de ser lo más precoz posible, basado en la clínica y los antecedentes del paciente. Un tratamiento adecuado y específico con antibióticos intravenosos e intravítreos puede evitar el mal pronóstico visual en algunos casos.
