Endogenous endophthalmitis due to Salmonella typhimurium.
Endogenous endophthalmitis due to Salmonella typhimurium is reported in a 1-year-old child. Despite vigorous antibiotic therapy, the child's vision deteriorated, and loss of light perception occurred in the infected eye. Endophthalmitis is a very rare complication of salmonellosis, and it should alert physicians because of its severe damage to the eye.
