    Summary

    This study identified three types of ocular histoplasmosis lesions: classical pigment ring, cystous, and multilocular. The cystous type of histoplasmosis is newly described in this research.

    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Infectious Diseases

    Background:

    • Ocular histoplasmosis is a fungal infection affecting the eye.
    • Previous classifications of histoplasmosis lesions have not included the cystous type.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe and classify different types of ocular histoplasmosis lesions observed in patients.
    • To introduce a newly identified cystous form of ocular histoplasmosis.

    Main Methods:

    • A follow-up study involving 30 eyes from 25 patients diagnosed with ocular histoplasmosis.
    • Clinical observation and categorization of lesion morphology.

    Main Results:

    • Three distinct lesion types were identified: classical pigment ring (13 eyes), cystous (4 eyes), and multilocular (13 eyes).
    • The cystous type of ocular histoplasmosis represents a novel finding, not previously documented in medical literature.

    Conclusions:

    • Ocular histoplasmosis can manifest in at least three distinct morphological patterns.
    • The identification of the cystous type expands the understanding of this fungal eye infection's presentation.
