  • Title: Endogenous Aspergillus endophthalmitis in drug abusers.
    Author: Doft BH, Clarkson JG, Rebell G, Forster RK.
    Journal: Arch Ophthalmol; 1980 May; 98(5):859-62. PubMed ID: 6990905.
    Abstract:
    One of two cases of endogenous Aspergillus endophthalmitis in abusers of intravenously administered drugs was treated successfully by subtotal pars plana vitrectomy; amphotericin B administered by intravitreal, periocular, and systemic routes; and flucytosine administered systemically. Aspergillus sp should be considered a possible pathogenic organism in drug abusers with endogenous endophthalmitis. An aggressive diagnostic and therapeutic approach may result in preservation of useful vision.
