Aqueous cytology and enzymes in nematode endophthalmitis.

J A Shields, H A Lerner, N T Felberg.   

Abstract

A 7-year-old girl had a white fundus mass and vitreous cells, compatible with an endophytic retinoblastoma. Aqueous aspiration revealed normal lactate dehydrogenase levels and large numbers of eosinophils, suggesting the diagnosis of nematode endophthalmitis. Treatment with corticosteroids brought about resolution of the inflammation and an excellent visual result.
