Electroretinograms in early fungal endophthalmitis
Documenta Ophthalmologica, 1988To facilitate the early diagnosis of exogenous fungal endophthalmitis, we developed a rabbit model for Aspergillus fumigatus endophthalmitis. Six eyes of six New Zealand white rabbits were inoculated with forty spores of A. fumigatus. A control group of their six contralateral eyes received a similar but sterile inoculum. The rabbit eyes were evaluated

Ophthalmology Clinics of North America, 1999Fungi constitute a prominent and diverse group of microorganisms. Despite their ubiquitous nature, only a limited number of fungal species produce infections of the eye, and an even smaller number cause fungal retinitis or endophthalmitis. These organisms are responsible for significant ocular morbidity, neverthe- less, and the prevalence of endogenous
