Abstract
Purpose: To examine the clinical course of dacryoadenitis and panophthalmitis from Curvularia infection. Methods: Retrospective case review. The authors reported a case of 36-year-old female who presented with dacryoadenitis and panophthalmitis. Clinical features, investigations and management were described. Results: A 36-year-old female with history of controlled bilateral pars planitis presented with dacryoadenitis and panophthalmitis in the right eye. Her medication at presentation was prednisolone 5 mg/d and mycophenolate mofetil 250 mg/d. She underwent tissue biopsy. The culture yielded Curvularia spp. Topical and systemic anti-fungal medications were given with a good response. Conclusion: Curvularia can be the cause of dacryoadenitis with panophthalmitis in immunocompromised hosts. Keywords: Curvularia, dacryoadenitis, panophthalmitis, fungus
