| Abstract: | A fungal infection in the right eye after retina detachment on an immunocompetent patient is reported. After surgery, she developed an infection that was empirically treated with antibiotics and corticoids. Later the patient developed another retina and choroid detachment. The infection evolved to endophthalmitis and a sample was sent to the microbiology laboratory, where Aspergillus fumigatus was isolated. In spite of treatment with intravenous and intravitreous amphotericin B, the eye was eventually removed by enucleation. |
