  • Fig. 1 Serial slit lamp findings of this case study. (A) At initial presentation, a 6.5 × 6.0-mm-sized central thick infiltration with a 1.0-mm hypopyon was observed (black arrowhead). The lesion showed a partially feathery margin at the inferior and scattered satellite lesions (red arrowheads). (B) At 4 days postadmission, the hypopyon was nearly absorbed (asterisk). (C) At 2 days after cessation of fortified amphotericin B, the hypopyon appeared (arrows), and corneal infiltration was slightly aggravated. (D) Markedly advanced corneal infiltration with a 3.0-mm hypopyon (asterisk) was observed compared with the presentation at 4 days postadmission.
