title = "Fusarium solani endophthalmitis without primary corneal involvement",
abstract = "A 45-year-old woman developed a fungal endophthalmitis caused by Fusarium solani. No primary corneal lesion existed. Therefore, the focus of infection was considered endogenous. Although disseminated systemic infections with Fusarium species have been described in compromised hosts, including a patient with metastatic panophthalmitis, we believe this is the first report of an endogenous endophthalmitis caused by F. solani in a healthy individual.",

note = "Funding Information: On Aug. 9, an ophthalmologist in California increased the daily prednisone dosage to 120 mg and injected betamethasone subconjunctivally. On the following day the left eye developed hypopyon, bedewing of the corneal epithelium, and striate keratopathy. The inflammation became more intense. Hospitalization was advised, but the patient decided to return to New York for treatment. She was admitted here on Aug. 18, 1972. At the time of admission to the hospital, the patient's right eye was normal. The left eye was extremely painful and visual acuity was limited to light perception with poor light projection. The conjunctiva was chemotic From the Department of Ophthalmology, Mount Sinai School of Medicine of the City University of New York (Drs.
