A 68-year-old woman presented with pain in her left eye. Necrosis with calcium plaques was observed on the medial part of the sclera. Aspergillus fumigatus was isolated from the culture of the necrotic area. On systemic work-up including serum and urine electrophoresis studies, the serum monoclonal protein of immunoglobulin G was detected. The patient was diagnosed with monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance and fungal scleritis. Despite intensive treatment with topical and oral antifungal agents, scleral inflammation and ulceration progressed, and scleral perforation and endophthalmitis developed. Debridement, antifungal irrigation, and tectonic scleral grafting were performed. The patient underwent a combined pars plana vitrectomy with an intravitreal injection of an antifungal agent. However, scleral and intraocular inflammation progressed, and the eye was enucleated. Aspergillus fumigatus was isolated from the cultures of the eviscerated materials. Giemsa staining of the excised sclera showed numerous fungal hyphae.
一名68岁女性因左眼疼痛就诊。在巩膜内侧部分观察到伴有钙斑的坏死。从坏死区域培养物中分离出烟曲霉。在包括血清和尿液电泳研究在内的全身检查中,检测到血清免疫球蛋白G单克隆蛋白。该患者被诊断为意义未明的单克隆丙种球蛋白病和真菌性巩膜炎。尽管使用局部和口服抗真菌药物进行了强化治疗,但巩膜炎症和溃疡仍进展,出现了巩膜穿孔和眼内炎。进行了清创、抗真菌冲洗和结构性巩膜移植。患者接受了玻璃体切除术联合玻璃体内注射抗真菌药物。然而,巩膜和眼内炎症仍进展,最终眼球被摘除。从摘除物培养物中分离出烟曲霉。切除巩膜的吉姆萨染色显示有大量真菌菌丝。
