The Role of Pars Plana Vitrectomy in the Management of Fungal Endogenous Endophthalmitis
European Journal of Ophthalmology, 2020 Purpose: To identify the causative microorganism of fungal endogenous endophthalmitis in our tertiary referral uveitis center and review the therapeutic role of pars plana vitrectomy in patients with fungal endogenous endophthalmitis. Methods: Seven eyes

Vitrectomy for Endogenous Fungal Endophthalmitis
Ocular Immunology and Inflammation, 2009The purpose of this study was to evaluate the predisposing risk factors and treatment outcomes of endogenous fungal endophthalmitis (EFE).Records of 25 patients (29 eyes), diagnosed with EFE and treated at Shanghai Eye, Ear, Nose & Throat Hospital from January 2002 to December 2006, were retrospectively reviewed.

Endogenous Fungal Endophthalmitis
International Ophthalmology Clinics, 1996Endogenous fungal endophthalmitis has increased in the past half-century because of the advent of antibiotics and indwelling catheters. The disease process can produce highly suggestive, though nonpathognomonic, ocular signs that assist the clinician in reaching a diagnosis.

Current Fungal Infection Reports, 2009
Fungal endophthalmitis occurs secondary to trauma, as a complication of intraocular surgery, or as an extension of an adjacent or distant focus of fungal infection. In the United States, Candida species are the most common pathogens isolated, followed by Aspergillus species.

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

FUNGAL RETINITIS AND ENDOPHTHALMITIS
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

Therapy of Postsurgical Fungal Endophthalmitis
Ophthalmology, 1978Successful therapy of postsurgical fungal endophthalmitis is restricted by the lack of safe, effective antifungal agents which penetrate the eye following multiple routes of administration. The proper steps in management of suspected postsurgical fungal endophthalmitis are (1) procurement of intraocular fluid for smear and culture, (2) initiation of ...

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).

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.
