Abstract
Fungal endophthalmitis following subconjunctival triamcinolone acetonide in anterior scleritis is a rare complication. Two patients with anterior scleritis, who received subconjunctival injection of triamcinolone developed fungal endophthalmitis. Both patients were positive by smear and polymerase chain reaction for 28S ribosomal RNA gene for fungus. Colletotrichum dematium was identified in one patient. Both patients responded well to pars plana vitrectomy and antifungal therapy.Entities:
