Treatment of Bilateral Endogenous < b > < i > Aspergillus < /i > < /b > Endophthalmitis with Multiple Intravitreal Voriconazole Injections with Good Visual Outcome

Endogenous endophthalmitis caused byAspergillus species tends to be very aggressive, often leading to devastating visual outcomes. Historically, intravitreal amphotericin injections have played a central role in management, but with variable visual outcomes and a risk of toxicity. Limited reports suggest that use of intravitreal voriconazole is a safe and efficacious alternative, though these cases were treated with only few intravitreal injections. Here, we report a case of bilateral endogenousAspergillus endophthalmitis treated with 8 intravitreal voriconazole injections in the right eye and 11 in the left eye with good best-corrected final visual outcome (20/50 right eye and 20/40 left eye).Case Rep Ophthalmol 2021;12:1002 –1007
