Scedosporium apiospermum traumatic endophthalmitis successfully treated with voriconazole

摘要

We describe a case of traumatic endophthalmitis due to Scedosporium apiospermum that was successfully treated with a combination of intravitreal and systemic voriconazole. A high dose of 200 μg was used intravitreally without any apparent complications. A brief overview of voriconazole use for treatment of ocular infections is presented, and a comparison is made with antifungal agents traditionally used in ophathalmology.
