Aspergillus Flavus Necrotising Scleritis following Pars Plana Vitrectomy.

Conclusion: We describe the first case of fungal necrotising scleritis without intraocular inflammation following pars plana vitrectomy (PubMed Search). Infection should be kept in the differential diagnosis of post-operative necrotising scleritis even in the absence of risk factors like hypopyon or diabetes. Early recognition improves final outcome. Medical therapy should be continued even after presumed cure to take care of residual fungi and prevent recurrences. PMID: 31429609 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
