| مستخلص: |
A 78-year-old man with a history of lung cancer, chemotherapy, radiotherapy, and coronavirus disease 2019 infection experienced visual deterioration of two-weeks' duration in his right eye. There was multifocal, yellowish-white retinitis foci, vascular engorgement, and scattered intraretinal hemorrhages extending from posterior pole to retinal periphery in the right eye, whereas the left eye was normal. Intravitreal vancomycin, ceftazidime, clindamycin, and dexamethasone were given for endogenous endophthalmitis initially. Vitreous culture confirmed the presence of Aspergillus lentulus, and he was treated with intravitreal amphotericin-B and voriconazole injections together with systemic amphotericin-B, voriconazole, posaconazole, and micafungin therapy. During follow-up, vitreoretinal surgery was performed because of rhegmatogenous retinal detachment, and he received one additional cycle of chemotherapy due to recurrence of the cancer. Although the retina was attached, enucleation was eventually required due to painful red eye. Atypical squamous cells beneath the neurosensory retina suggesting metastasis were noted on histopathological examination. Timely ocular examination is crucial for any immunocompromised patient having ocular symptoms. High level of suspicion for a fungal etiology is a must in these patients. : [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
