title: [Penicillium chrysogenum endophthalmitis: a case report].
abstract: We report a case of Penicillium chrysogenum endophthalmitis after penetrating ocular trauma in a 9-year-old child, describing the initial management and the therapeutic adaptation after biopsy culture. After a review of endophthalmitis treatment, we discuss mycotic endophthalmitis treatment and recommend the use of intravitreal antibiotics. In this case, we used amphotericin B to treat the fungal disorder with success.
