Endogenous Aeromonas hydrophila endophthalmitis.
Aeromonas hydrophila as the etiologic agent of endophthalmitis is rare, having only been reported in association with a perforating injury of the eye. We describe a case of isolated spontaneous, endogenous endophthalmitis due to this agent, with no apparent source.
