Background: We report a case of fungal endophthalmitis which developed after subtenon injections of triamcinolone acetonide (TA).
Case: A 63-year-old man had Graves' ophthalmopathy. He had received subtenon injections of TA in his left eye.
Unlabelled: A 6-week-old immunocompetent girl developed protein-losing gastroenteropathy (PLGE) and retinitis associated with cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection. At presentation, CMV antigenaemia (6 cells/46,000 white blood cells) and its DNA were detected in the patient's blood and in the mother's milk. Intravenous ganciclovir and gamma-globulin rapidly ameliorated all symptoms and CMV antigenaemia disappeared.
