The infection starts in the upper portion of the nasal septum and extends into the orbit of the eye, frontal sinuses, major cerebral vessels, and subsequently the central nervous system. Rhizopus arrhizus is the most common etiologic agent. Symptoms include orbital pain, ophthalomoplegia, localized anesthesia, proptosis, limitation of movement, fixation of the pupil, and loss of vision. Prognosis and therapyControl of diabetes is the most important factor. Systemic, local amphotericin B, or both and surgery are typically required. LaboratoryDirect examinationClinical material, especially from the tissue surrounding the eye if the eye is not enucleated, is mounted in 10% KOH and/or Calcofluor and then examined for sparsely septate, irregularly branching hyphae that are 6-15 um in diameter.IsolationTechniques for Zygomycetes MycologyThe techniques that apply to any of the Zygomycetes would be appropriate. -----Original Message-----From: infections [mailto:infections ]On Behalf Of Barb PeckSent: 07 June 2005 14:10infections Subject: [infections] Re: Flucanzole (yeast)Pam- I have known 2 people with a documented yeast infection in the eye, and both had severe pins and needles sensations and could not drive for 3 weeks.. really couldn't do anything till it was erradicated.Mega painfull.I would be very surprised if you could have a low level yeast infection in the eye, which never became full blown... but - if you have data showing subclinical yeast infection of the eye is possible - let me know.Most all my ocular problems from Lyme were internal to the eyeball.Dry eye, sore to look up, down, left or right, light sensitive, posterior and anterior Uveitis, visual disturbances, partial visual field loss, color perception changes.. and of course almost constant headache.Barb, > Just thought I would mention that my migraines have stopped and I am > able to tolerate the full dose of flucanzole (150mg) (last migraine > 7 days ago).
