Streptococcus agalactiae endogenous endophthalmitis.

Norman Saffra1, Aleksandr Rakhamimov, Robert Husney, Monica Ghitan.   

Abstract

Streptococcus agalactiae (SA) is a Group B Streptococcus, which is a common pathogen implicated in neonatal and geriatric sepsis. Endogenous bacterial endophthalmitis (EBE) is a condition that results from haematogenous seeding of the globe, during transient or persistent bacteremia. We document a case of a non-septic geriatric patient, who developed EBE after a transient bacteraemia with SA.
