Resumen

Case reports: We describe two case reports of bacterial endogenous endophthalmitis, with different clinical features, evolution and response to treatment. Discussion: Bacterial endogenous endophthalmitis is a rare pathology with poor visual outcome, and with risk of evolving into an orbital cellulitis or of infecting the second eye. For this reason, a high awareness of this disease is necessary in order to give an immediate treatment. However, treatments have to be personalised, according to the patient�s health condition, and to the location of the infectious focus.
