Аннотация
PURPOSE: We examined an 82-year-old woman with delayed-onset endophthalmitis caused by an opportunistic pathogen, Ovadendron sulphureo-ochraceum.
METHODS: Tissue obtained during vitrectomy was cultured and examined by light and electron microscopy. An enucleation specimen was examined by light microscopy.
RESULTS: The patient had fungal endophthalmitis, with O. sulphureo-ochraceum present in the lens capsule. The eye developed a necrotizing scleritis secondary to O. sulphureo-ochraceum. The patient failed to respond to intravitreous, subconjunctival, and systemic amphotericin B, and the eye was enucleated.
CONCLUSION: In this case of O. sulphureo-ochraceum as a human pathogen, the organism caused endophthalmitis after cataract extraction.
