Bilateral endogenous fungal endophthalmitis following elective surgical abortion: a single center case series
This cases series represents the first reported cluster of endogenous fungal endophthalmitis following surgical abortion. Prompt recognition and treatment with intravitreal and systemic antifungals can result in favorable outcomes. The findings highlight the importance of stringent sterilization protocols in outpatient surgical settings and the need for heighted clinical suspicion in similar presentations.
