Purpose. to report the causative organisms,management strategies,and visual outcomes of culture-proven endogenous fungal endophthalmitis in a case series from southern china. methods. we reviewed the microbiological and medical records of patients with culture-positive endogenous fungal endophthalmitis visiting the zhongshan ophthalmic center,guangzhou,china,between january 1,2006,and march 31,2016. results. the inclusion criteria were met in 32 eyes of 29 patients. molds were a common causative organism in 15 patients (51.7%),while yeasts appeared in 14 patients (48.3%). initial visual acuity (va) at the level of finger counting or better was significantly related to a good visual outcome (p=0.002). molds as a causative agent were significantly associated with worse visual outcome than yeasts (p=0.020). conclusion. molds were a common cause of culture-proven fungal endophthalmitis. endogenous fungal endophthalmitis is generally associated with poor va outcomes,especially if caused by molds and if the patient's initial va is too low to permit finger counting. © 2017 fang duan et al.
