Abstract

We report an atypical presentation of endophthalmitis in a 2-month-old infant due to a rare infection by Pasteurella canis, small Gram-negative coccobacilli that inhabit the oral cavity and the gastrointestinal tracts of animals, including domesticated cats and dogs. Ocular infections are mainly associated with animal bites and scratches.
