Abstract:
Group G streptococci can cause serious infections in patients with predisposing factors. Involvement of the eye has rarely been reported in patients without ocular history. Two cases of group G streptococcal endocarditis which presented with an endogenous endophthalmitis are reported. Topical and systemic antimicrobial therapy resulted in recovery, but visual outcome was poor.
