Abstract

Purpose: To report a case of an exogenous endophthalmitis caused by the fungal species Glomerella cingulata. Observations: A 71-year-old male presented with an infectious keratitis that evolved into endophthalmitis. Combined cataract extraction and pars plana vitrectomy was performed and the vitreous specimen cultured Glomerella cingulata, a variant of the Colletotrichum gloeosporioides fungal species. Despite early treatment with topical, systemic and intravitreal doses of both voriconazole and amphotericin B, the patient had a poor visual and anatomical outcome. Conclusions and Importance: Glomerella cingulata may rarely cause endophthalmitis with devastating visual outcomes.
