ABSTRACT
A 30-year-old man developed endophthalmitis three weeks after an intravenous injection of hydromorphone hydrochloride. Penicillium species was recovered from a vitreous aspirate. Treatment with amphotericin B and flucytosine resulted in documented sterilization of the vitreous. At a six-month follow-up examination, the visual acuity of the involved eye was still limited to light perception.
