Abstract
We report the case of an 86-year-old man with unilateral panuveitis concurrent with an infectious retinal focus. The diagnosis of endogenous endophthalmitis with subretinal abscess was suggested. The biology workup and CT scan showed a renal abscess. This was caused by Klebsiella pneumoniae, which was confirmed by analysis of abscess aspiration and vitrectomy samples. This paper underscores the importance of etiological assessment in infectious panuveitis and the consequences on visual outcome.
