Abstract
Due to poor penetration of systemic or topical antibiotics into the vitreous chamber, treating endophthalmitis is challenging, especially in rare cases in which vancomycin-resistant enterococci are present. Caused by the unique mechanism of high-velocity water stream trauma, a case of exogenous endophthalmitis in a four-year-old-boy is discussed.
