Abstract
We describe a patient with bilateral, delayed endophthalmitis who underwent bilateral pars plana vitrectomy, total capsulectomy, intraocular lens exchange, intravitreal injection of amphotericin B, and oral fluconazole therapy. The long-term inflammation resolved, and vitreous cultures from both eyes yielded Candida parapsilosis. Histopathologic examination revealed sequestered yeast forms in the capsular bags.
