    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Mycology
    • Infectious Diseases

    Background:

    • Aspergillus endophthalmitis is a severe intraocular infection.
    • Metastatic fungal infections can affect the eye, often secondary to other conditions.

    Observation:

    • A patient presented with Aspergillus endophthalmitis in one eye.
    • A contralateral metastatic infection developed in the second eye 2.5 months later, originating from cardiac valve vegetation.

    Findings:

    • Successful treatment was achieved using wide vitrectomy and intravitreous amphotericin B injection.
    • Subconjunctival amphotericin B and dexamethasone were administered post-operatively.
    • Systemic antifungal therapy was not utilized.

    Implications:

    Related Experiment Videos

    • This case demonstrates the efficacy of localized antifungal treatment for Aspergillus endophthalmitis.
    • Wide vitrectomy combined with intravitreous antifungals can be a standalone curative strategy.
    • Preservation of useful vision is achievable with this targeted treatment approach.
