description A patient with idiopathic thrombocytosis developed sudden loss of vision in his left eye secondary to endophthalmitis caused by Aspergillus flavus. He subsequently manifested other symptoms and signs of disseminated infection, and eventually died despite prompt initiation of appropriate parenteral antifungal therapy. A period of profound, iatrogenic neutropenia preceded the development of his terminal infection. Previously reported cases of hematogenously acquired Aspergillus endophthalmitis are reviewed, and approaches to diagnosis and management are discussed. The frequency of eye involvement in cases of disseminated aspergillosis is unknown, but it may be greater than appreciated previously.
