Endogenous bacterial endophthalmitis is an eye disease of difficult management and treatment. It is a serious condition with considerable compromise of the visual function and the anatomical integrity of the eye globe in most patients.

A search was conducted in various papers published in the past twelve years, mainly on the Infomed platform, particularly the Virtual Health Library, with the purpose of learning about the main risk factors, diagnosis and updated treatments for the disease.
