ABSTRACT
A 40-year-old man who had been treated for multiple myeloma, complained of decreased visual acuity of the left eye on the 30th day of admission. The nucleotide sequences of a fungal PCR product from vitreous fluid showed 99% homology with Aspergillus fumigatus (AY373851). Aspergillus spp. was isolated from vitreous fluid culture, also. Rapid diagnosis and intervention are critical elements for the Aspergillus endophthalmitis; therefore, it would be helpful to combine the fungal PCR with conventional fungus culture for clinically indicated specimens.
