Summary

Endogenous Aspergillus endophthalmitis in an HIV-positive man led to orbital invasion despite antifungal treatment. Enucleation was necessary due to scleral involvement, highlighting the importance of considering this outcome.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Infectious Diseases
  • Mycology

Background:

  • Case study of endogenous Aspergillus endophthalmitis in a 38-year-old HIV-positive male.
  • Initial presentation included sudden vision loss, subretinal infiltration, vascular changes, and retinal hemorrhages in the right eye.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe the clinical course and management of endogenous Aspergillus endophthalmitis.
  • To emphasize the implications of scleral involvement in this condition.

Main Methods:

  • Clinical case presentation.
  • Review of treatment response to high-dose systemic antifungal therapy.

Main Results:

  • Despite aggressive antifungal treatment, the infection penetrated the posterior ocular wall and invaded adjacent orbital structures.

  • Enucleation (eye removal) was ultimately required.

    • Conclusions:

    • Scleral involvement in Aspergillus endophthalmitis is a critical factor.
    • Enucleation should be strongly considered when scleral invasion occurs in Aspergillus endophthalmitis.
