Bilateral Candida parapsilosis Endophthalmitis

Vernon K. W. Wong, MD; William Tasman, MD; Ralph C. Eagle, Jr, MD; Alvaro Rodriguez, MD

Arch Ophthalmol. 1997;115(5):670-672.


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.
