Аннотация
BACKGROUND: Streptococcus suis is a major porcine pathogen that can cause severe systemic infection in humans. The common clinical features include meningitis, septicemia, purulent arthritis, and oftentimes deafness. However, ocular inflammation is very rare.
METHODS: We report the case of endogenous endophthalmitis, meningitis, and septicemia caused by S. suis. The patient received 2 months of systemic antibiotics therapy, intravitreal vancomycin, and vitrectomy combining phacoemulsification with intraocular lens without silicone oil-filled.
RESULTS: The result with the best-corrected visual acuity was 20/40 on the left eye and 20/25 on the right eye.
CONCLUSION: This case illustrates the rare presentation of endogenous endophthalmitis in a patient with meningitis due to S. suis. In patients presenting with endophthalmitis and meningitis, S. suis should be considered, especially if prominent and early visual acuity impairment is present.
