Abstract

Aspergillus scleritis is a potentially devastating ocular infection difficult to treat because of poor scleral vascularity. Most Aspergillus cases occur following ocular surgery, but others have been associated with trauma or intravenous drug use. No anti-fungal agents are consistently efficacious in the treatment of scleral fungal infections. We report a case of Aspergillus scleritis successfully treated with a combination of voriconazole and caspofungin, as well as a review of the literature concerning treatment of Aspergillus scleritis.
