Abstract
Aspergillus endophthalmitis is usually related to systemic or local dissemination in immunosuppressed subjects. The authors report a rare case of severe bilateral glaucoma secondary to an intraocular infection with Aspergillus niger, in the absence of any detectable focus of aspergillosis, in an HIV-infected patient. There were no confirming signs of injection drug use, and the agent was isolated after inoculation in experimental animals. This case shows that Aspergillus endophthalmitis should be considered in non-injecting drug users and HIV-infected patients even in the absence of systemic aspergillosis.
Endoftalmite por Aspergillus é geralmente relacionada à disseminação local ou sistêmica do agente em indivíduos imunocomprometidos. Os autores relatam um caso raro de glaucoma bilateral grave secundário a uma infecção intra-ocular por Aspergillus niger, na ausência de qualquer foco detectável de aspergilose em paciente HIV-positivo. Foram afastados sinais e antecedentes de uso de drogas injetáveis e o agente foi isolado após inoculação em animais experimentais. Este caso demonstra que a endoftalmite por Aspergillus deve ser considerada em pacientes HIV-positivos não-usuários de drogas injetáveis, mesmo na ausência de aspergilose sistêmica.
