Fungal endophthalmitis is a rare complication after cataract surgery and is associated with significant morbidity including vision loss. The common causative fungal pathogens implicated in fungal endophthalmitis after cataract surgery include Candida species (spp.) and molds such as Aspergillus spp. and Fusarium spp. Early diagnosis and effective antifungal treatment after a high index of clinical suspicion are required to reduce unfavorable complications and to preserve eye function. This review discusses epidemiology, pathogenesis, clinical features, diagnosis, management, and outcomes associated with fungal endophthalmitis after cataract surgery.
真菌性眼内炎是白内障手术后罕见的并发症,与严重的发病率相关,包括视力丧失。白内障手术后真菌性眼内炎常见的致病真菌病原体包括念珠菌属(种)和曲霉菌属(种)和镰刀菌属(种)等霉菌。在高度临床怀疑后,需要早期诊断和有效的抗真菌治疗,以减少不良并发症并保留眼功能。本文讨论了白内障手术后真菌性眼内炎的流行病学、发病机制、临床特征、诊断、治疗和结局。
