摘要
A case of B-thalassaemia major complicated with Klebsiella pneumoniae endogenous endophthalmitis is presented to increase physician awareness of the association of the two clinical conditions. Severe morbidity including subretinal abscess and retinal detachment may develop despite aggressive intravenous and intravitreal ceftriaxone therapy, along with vitrectomy and external drainage.
