Aspergillus species have been implicated in a wide variety of primary ocular conditions, characterized by either slow and asymptomatic infection, or rapid, uncontrollable progression and sometimes death. The study design is a case series including chronic asymptomatic dacryocystitis, dacryocystitis with dacryoliths and endogenous endophthalmitis. Due to this variable clinical presentation of aspergillosis a high level of suspicion must be maintained as fulminant aspergillosis may lead to a rapidly progressive infection which may result in death.
曲霉菌种与多种原发性眼部疾病有关，其特征为感染缓慢且无症状，或进展迅速、无法控制，有时甚至会导致死亡。该研究设计为一个病例系列，包括慢性无症状泪囊炎、伴有泪石的泪囊炎和内源性眼内炎。由于曲霉菌病的临床表现多样，必须高度怀疑，因为暴发性曲霉菌病可能导致迅速进展的感染，进而可能导致死亡。
