Chronic Endophthalmitis Due to Verticillium Species After Cataract Surgery Treated (Or Managed) With Pars Plana Vitrectomy and Oral and Intravitreal Voriconazole

Verticillium Species Skin Infection in a Renal Transplant Patient

“…Voriconazole has been used to treat endophthalmitis. 11 In our patient, fluconazole monotherapy seemed to be effective for the skin infection due to Verticillium species. …”

“…5 Verticillium species has also been reported to cause endop hthalmitis following cataract surgery. 11 Here, we report a patient with Verticillium species infection involving skin and soft tissue who presented with symptoms after living-donor related renal transplant. The infection was confirmed by microbiology and histology and responded well to fluconazole.…”

Anti-Infectious Activity of Intravitreal Injectable Voriconazole Microspheres on Experimental Rabbit Fungal Endophthalmitis Caused by aspergillus fumigatus

“…In recent years, the therapeutic method of voriconazole injection has been used, and many patients have had fairly successful results, although relatively worse results also exist in cases of delayed diagnosis or swiftly progressing disease. 3,[29][30][31] The retina detached in two of the eyes in voriconazole intravitreal injection group that had relatively mild inflammation, for the presumed reason that multiple intravitreal drug injections resulted in rhegmatogenous retinal detachment or that inflammation led to exudative retinal detachment, or both. The advantages and disadvantages of multiple intravitreal drug injections are therefore worthy of further discussion.…”

Scedosporium apiospermum traumatic endophthalmitis successfully treated with voriconazole

“…Thiel et al [8] described five cases of fungal keratitis and one case of endophthalmitis that were unresponsive to conventional treatment but resolved with voriconazole treatment. Nehemy et al [18] treated post-operative chronic endophthalmitis due to Verticillum species with pars plana vitrectomy and oral and intravitreal voriconazole. Other cases of fungal endophthalmitis successfully treated with voriconazole have been reported by Figueroa et al [19], Kramer et al [20], Sen et al [21].…”
