ABSTRACT
Fusarium species manifests as an opportunistic infection with intrinsic resistance to most antifungals. We present a case of a 63-year-old male with myelodysplasia who received allogeneic stem cell transplantation and presented with endophthalmitis as the initial manifestation of invasive fusariosis that progressed to a fatal outcome despite combined intravitreal and systemic antifungal therapies. We urge clinicians to consider this complication of fusarium infection especially with the widespread use of antifungal prophylaxis that may incur selection of more resistant, invasive fungal species.
