We describe a 56-year-old woman with type 2 diabetes complicated by a Klebsiella pneumoniae perirenal abscess. The patient further developed incipient diabetic ketoacidosis, disseminated intravascular coagulation, and endogenous endophthalmitis. Occurrence of the latter as a metastatic infection from perirenal abscess caused by this organism is very rare, and we know of no previously reported patient with the additional occurrence of disseminated intravascular coagulation. Since prompt intravitreal antibiotic administration is needed, physicians should be aware of these rare but severe complications of K pneumoniae infection, especially in patients with poorly controlled diabetes.
