Isolated group B streptococcal endogenous endophthalmitis simulating retinoblastoma or persistent fetal vasculature in a healthy full-term infant

Group B streptococcus (GBS) is a potentially devastating neonatal pathogen that most commonly causes meningitis, sepsis, and pneumonia. It is also a very rare cause of endogenous endophthalmitis. We present the second case of endogenous endophthalmitis caused by GBS in a healthy newborn and the first case of endogenous endophthalmitis by GBS in a newborn mimicking retinoblastoma and resulting in enucleation.
