Endogenous Endophthalmitis After Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus Sternal Wound Infection -- Holloway et al. 89 (4): 1281 -- The Annals of Thoracic Surgery.

We describe what we believe is the first case of endophthalmitis in a cardiac surgical patient with a methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus wound infection.
