Popis:	Ocular involvement in Staphylococcus aureus bacteraemia occurs with metastatic infection and has been identified as an independent risk factor for mortality. It manifests as either endophthalmitis or chorioretinitis and often leads to visual loss, particularly with delayed diagnosis. We present a case report of endogenous endophthalmitis and chorioretinitis in the background of methicillin-sensitive Staphylococcus aureus (MSSA) bacteraemia in a 23-year-old HIV-positive woman.
