PURPOSE: To better characterize the demographics and outcomes of endogenous bacterial endophthalmitis (EBE).

METHODS: Retrospective observational case series of 49 eyes of 41 patients with EBE evaluated at a single academic center.

RESULTS: Gram stain (

CONCLUSION: EBE in a North American population showed poor visual recovery despite treatment. It was most commonly due to gram-positive bacteria with the most common infectious source being endocarditis. Malignancy should be considered in patients with bilateral EBE.
