Atypical conjunctival sporotrichosis secondary to Mooren’s ulcer: a case report

Immunosuppression, such as steroids and tacrolimus eyedrops, may predispose patients to opportunistic infections like sporotrichosis. Oral itraconazole, combined with subconjunctival and topical antifungal therapy, effectively treat severe Sporothrix conjunctivitis. Future studies should explore the balance between antifungal and immunosuppressive therapies to manage coexisting conditions like Mooren's ulcer while curing fungal infections.

Abstract

Immunosuppression, such as steroids and tacrolimus eyedrops, may predispose patients to opportunistic infections like sporotrichosis. Oral itraconazole, combined with subconjunctival and topical antifungal therapy, effectively treat severe Sporothrix conjunctivitis. Future studies should explore the balance between antifungal and immunosuppressive therapies to manage coexisting conditions like Mooren's ulcer while curing fungal infections.
