Review Case Reports
Endogenous endophthalmitis caused by Histoplasma capsulatum var. capsulatum: a case report and literature review.
We report the first case of clinically diagnosed endogenous endophthalmitis caused by Histoplasma capsulatum var. capsulatum in a patient with the acquired immune deficiency syndrome. ⋯ H. capsulatum should be considered a possible etiologic agent of endophthalmitis, especially in patients with a history of disseminated histoplasmosis and/or immune deficiency.
