Department of Ophthalmology, Derbyshire Royal Infirmary, Derby, UK.

A 64-year-old man who presented with sudden, unilateral loss of vision was found to have endophthalmitis associated with a pyogenic liver abscess. The patient was successfully managed with subtotal vitrectomy and percutaneous drainage of the liver abscess. Eikenella corrodens was cultured from the blood and the pus drained from the liver abscess. This is the first reported case of Eikenella corrodens liver abscess complicated by endophthalmitis.
