Ocular involvement of paracoccidioidomycosis is rare and when it occurs it is usually secondary to hematogenic dissemination. A case of multifocal paracoccidioidomycosis in a 73 year-old male after history of blunt trauma in the right eye with a stick of wood that presented as the first clinical sign a lid-conjunctival lesion is described. The possible primary ocular infection spreading by contiguity is argued and the disease manifestation in an advanced age is highlighted.
副球孢子菌病累及眼部较为罕见,一旦发生通常继发于血行播散。本文描述了一例73岁男性患者,右眼曾被木棍钝器击伤,之后出现多灶性副球孢子菌病,其首个临床体征为睑结膜病变。文中讨论了可能通过直接蔓延导致的原发性眼部感染,并强调了该疾病在老年患者中的表现。
