ABSTRACT
Endogenous aspergillus endophthalmitis(EAE) after kidney transplant is a rare but important clinical problem due to potentially devastating consequences. Early diagnosis of EAE, timely removal of affected vitreous by vitrectomy, proper anti-fungal treatment, all contributed to the successful control of the disease. Therapeutic success of EAE in post-transplant patients depends largely on prompt diagnosis. Definite diagnosis of EAE is based on positive culture results of vitreous specimen, while fundoscopy and B scan ultrasound may aid early diagnosis. In terms of anti-fungal medicine, amphotericin B has long been the first choice, but its systemic applicaiton has severe adverse reactions, especially for patients with impaired renal function. Herein, we report the treatment modality of EAE after kidney transplant with vitrectomy, systemic administration of micafungin plus voriconazole, topical application of fluconazol and amphotercin B.
