title: Scedosporium apiospermum endopthalmitis treated early with intravitreous voriconazole results in recovery of vision.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  The purpose of this study is to report a case of endogenous endopthalmitis caused by Scedosporium apiospermum with a favorable outcome and review previously reported cases, their treatment regimens and outcomes.
  
  
  METHODS
  An 83-year-old man with diabetes mellitus, no other immunocompromising risk factors, and a history of S. apiospermum endopthalmitis in the left eye developed endopthalmitis in the right eye. Within 72 h of presentation, he was treated with a pars plana vitrectomy and intravitreal voriconozole.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Vitreous cultures confirmed S. apiospermum. The patient responded to treatment, with a favorable outcome and full recovery of vision.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Recognition of S. apiospermum endopthalmitis and appropriate early intervention with pars plana vitrectomy and intravitreal voriconozole can lead to a favorable outcome with restoration of visual acuity.
