Description
Suzana Otasevic and eight co-authors report a rare fungal eye infection and review all past cases like it, in a paper published in two thousand twenty-six. Their patient was an eighty-year-old woman who had cataract surgery two years earlier. A fungus called Exophiala dermatitidis caused a severe infection of the cornea that spread inside the eye.
The illness was first read as a more common problem and treated with the wrong drugs. Lab tests on samples at last named the fungus. A strong antifungal drug slowed but did not stop the spread, and the eye had to be removed. The review finds that this infection often follows eye surgery or injury, is slow to be named, and does best when drug treatment pairs with surgery. The authors urge doctors to think of it when post-surgery eye swelling does not clear.
