The importance of considering the possibility of ocular sporotrichosis in areas with high incidence rates of sporotrichosis

ABSTRACT Ocular sporotrichosis involving adnexa can present in 4 types: granulomatous conjunctivitis, dacryocystitis, Parinaud oculoglandular syndrome, and bulbar conjunctivitis. The incidence of ocular sporotrichosis has increased in regions with high incidence rates of sporotrichosis. We present a series of three cases of ocular involvement by the fungus Sporothrix species, including its manifestations, approaches, and relevance in areas where sporotrichosis has considerable incidence rates.

摘要：累及眼附属器的眼部孢子丝菌病（ocular sporotrichosis）可分为4种临床类型：肉芽肿性结膜炎、泪囊炎、帕里诺眼腺综合征（Parinaud oculoglandular syndrome）与球结膜炎。在孢子丝菌病高发区域，眼部孢子丝菌病的发病率呈上升趋势。本文报道3例由孢子丝菌属（Sporothrix species）真菌感染引发的眼部受累病例，涵盖其临床表现、诊疗方案及在孢子丝菌病高发地区的临床意义。
