J. James Rowsey, MD; Thomas E. Acers, MD; David L. Smith, MD; John A. Mohr, MD; David L. Newsom, MS; Jaime Rodriguez

Arch Ophthalmol. 1979;97(1):103-105.


Abstract



• A 27-year-old man sustained a thorn injury to his left eye and a culture-proven Fusarium oxysporum endophthalmitis developed. This was successfully treated with a vitrectomy, intravitreal and intravenous amphotericin B, and oral flucytosine. The patient maintains 20/20 vision at this time in his left eye. We recommend combined therapy for this filamentous fungal infection.
