Abstract:
Metastatic endophthalmitis is attributed to endogenous spread when the causative organisms enter the eye from a site of infection from elsewhere in the body. Usually such patients have no history of ocular trauma or surgery. The author experienced two cases of metastatic endophthalmitis. The pathogens were proved to be Candida albicans and Escherichia coli by culture of the specimen obtained from the vitreous.
