Abstract
Sporothrix schenckii occurs worldwide as a chronic subcutaneous mycotic infection, but can result in intraocular infection of cryptogenic origin without evident systemic infection. A case of S schenckii endophthalmitis is presented without a history of trauma or systemic infection originally diagnosed as granulomatous uveitis that resulted in scleral perforation.
