title: Concurrent Endophthalmitis and Orbital Cellulitis From Metastatic Klebsiella pneumonia Liver Abscess.
abstract: A 70-year-old Korean female with a history of Klebsiella pneumonia liver abscess was presented to the authors' service with signs of endophthalmitis and orbital cellulitis. Vitreous biopsy confirmed K. pneumonia as the causative organism. With prolonged intravenous antibiotics and steroids, orbital symptoms resolved, but visual acuity remained at light perception. This is the first case in the literature to report on endophthalmitis and orbital cellulitis from K. pneumonia liver abscess.
