To describe an unusual case of disseminated sporotrichosis with intraocular involvement.
Interventional case report.
An 18-year-old man presented with disseminated ulcerated skin lesions. Fundus examination showed fluffy opacities in the vitreous and a retinal granuloma in the left eye. Biopsy of the skin lesion and lymph node showed the presence of numerous fungus cells. Culture was positive for the diagnosis of disseminated sporotrichosis.
Although intraocular infection due to Sporothrix schenckii is uncommon, it can occur in case of disseminated sporotrichosis. Systemic therapy is a successful means to control skin and ocular sporotrichosis.
描述1例伴有眼内受累的播散性孢子丝菌病罕见病例。
介入性病例报告。
一名18岁男性患者出现播散性溃疡性皮肤病变。眼底检查显示玻璃体有絮状混浊,左眼有视网膜肉芽肿。皮肤病变和淋巴结活检显示存在大量真菌细胞。培养结果确诊为播散性孢子丝菌病。
尽管申克孢子丝菌引起的眼内感染并不常见,但在播散性孢子丝菌病病例中可能发生。全身治疗是控制皮肤和眼部孢子丝菌病的成功方法。
