| Abstract: | Neonatal endophthalmitis is a rare entity that may be exogenous or endogenous. Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a ubiquitous gram-negative rod that may appear as a nosocomial source of infection in the neonatal intensive care unit. A case of bilateral Pseudomonas-induced endophthalmitis is presented, and a discussion of the case and of the relevant literature follows. |
