  • Title: Endogenous Aspergillus endophthalmitis in a healthy individual.
    Author: Mamandhar A, Bajracharya L.
    Journal: Nepal J Ophthalmol; 2012; 4(1):179-83. PubMed ID: 22344019.
    Abstract:
    BACKGROUND: Fungal endogenous endophthalmitis in a healthy individual without any predisposing factors is very uncommon. It can occur in intravenous drug abusers, where Aspergillus is more frequently isolated as the causative organism. CASE: We treated an unusual case of culture-proven endogenous Aspergillus endophthalmitis who was immunocompetent and was not an intravenous drug user. The affected eye was successfully treated with repeated intravitreal, intracameral and intrastromal injections of amphotericin B and anterior chamber wash. CONCLUSION: Endogenous fungal endophthalmitis can occur in healthy individuals.
