Abstract

PURPOSE

To report a case of an exogenous endophthalmitis caused by the fungal species .

OBSERVATIONS

A 71-year-old male presented with an infectious keratitis that evolved into endophthalmitis. Combined cataract extraction and pars plana vitrectomy was performed and the vitreous specimen cultured a variant of the fungal species. Despite early treatment with topical, systemic and intravitreal doses of both voriconazole and amphotericin B, the patient had a poor visual and anatomical outcome.
