Screening for Fungal Endophthalmitis in Children at Risk
Pediatrics, 1992To evaluate the efficacy of screening ophthalmologic examinations in high-risk children, we reviewed the medical records for all patients hospitalized from 1985 through 1989 at The Hospital for Sick Children, Toronto, Ontario, who underwent ophthalmological consultation to rule out endogenous fungal endophthalmitis (n = 176).

Diagnosis and Treatment of Endogenous Fungal Endophthalmitis
Ophthalmologica, 2006Endogenous infectious endophthalmitis is rare, and a primary source is usually identified. A case of primary fungal endophthalmitis successfully treated with vitrectomy and systemic antifungal therapy is presented. The aetiology and treatment of the condition are discussed.

The Role of Vitrectomy in the Management of Fungal Endophthalmitis
Seminars in Ophthalmology, 2016Fungal endophthalmitis is an important cause of vision loss worldwide with a large body of literature describing the treatment of the disease. The evidence supporting the use of pars plana vitrectomy in the management of fungal endophthalmitis is largely comprised of case reports and case series and demonstrates the important role of vitrectomy surgery.

Pathobiology of Fungal Endophthalmitis: A Major Review
ACS Infectious DiseasesFungal endophthalmitis is a chronic inflammatory condition of the eye's posterior segment that can lead to irreversible vision loss. While relatively rare in western countries, its incidence is notably higher in Asia, particularly India. The condition's prevalence is exacerbated by factors such as intravenous drug use, antibiotics, and ocular surgeries.

Exogenous Fungal Endophthalmitis
2016Exogenous fungal endophthalmitis is usually a consequence of keratitis, a penetrating injury to the globe, or eye surgery. Most cases are due to molds, especially Aspergillus species and Fusarium species. Candida species are much less likely than molds to cause exogenous endophthalmitis.

Treatment outcomes of endogenous fungal endophthalmitis
Current Opinion in Ophthalmology, 1998Endogenous fungal endophthalmitis may present in a debilitated or otherwise healthy host, may be increasing in prevalence, and is most commonly caused by Candida albicans. Recognizing the potential for complications with systemic amphotericin B use, recent investigators have developed several newer principles governing the treatment of such cases.

Etiology and Diagnosis of Fungal Postoperative Endophthalmitis
Ophthalmology, 1978Delayed infections after ocular surgery (especially cataract) are usually due to saprophytic contaminant fungi of relatively low pathogeneicity. About 20 different varieties of fungi have been cultured from such eyes. Thus, as far as the eye is concerned, there is no such thing as a harmless, benign fungus.
