Özet
Aspergillus species have been implicated in a wide variety of primary ocular conditions, characterized by either slow and asymptomatic infection, or rapid, uncontrollable progression and sometimes death. The study design is a case series including chronic asymptomatic dacryocystitis, dacryocystitis with dacryoliths and endogenous endophthalmitis. Due to this variable clinical presentation of aspergillosis a high level of suspicion must be maintained as fulminant aspergillosis may lead to a rapidly progressive infection which may result in death.
