Bilateral endogenous endophthalmitis from asymptomatic Aspergillus niger fungal infective endocarditis in the immunosuppressed patient: A case report

This case highlights the diagnostic challenges of EFE and emphasizes the importance of considering fungal endocarditis as a source of infection in immunosuppressed patients presenting with severe vitritis, even in the absence of systemic symptoms. Early recognition, prompt vitrectomy with intravitreal antifungal therapy, and thorough systemic evaluation are essential to improve visual and systemic outcomes.

Abstract

This case highlights the diagnostic challenges of EFE and emphasizes the importance of considering fungal endocarditis as a source of infection in immunosuppressed patients presenting with severe vitritis, even in the absence of systemic symptoms. Early recognition, prompt vitrectomy with intravitreal antifungal therapy, and thorough systemic evaluation are essential to improve visual and systemic outcomes.
