  • Abstract
  • Look Inside

A 59-year-old man developed high fever 3 days after difficulty in urination. He was diagnosed with septicemia,diabetes mellitus and ureterolithiasis with pyelonephritis. Candida albicans was detected in the urine. When seen 2 weeks after onset of fever,his visual acuity was 0.3 in either eye. Inflammatory cells were present in the aqueous and the vitreous. Numerous punctate deposits were present on the retina in both eyes. Antigen for Candida was positive in the blood. These findings led to the diagnosis of endophthalmitis due to Candida albicans. Vitrectomy induced cure of endophthalmitis in both eyes. This case illustrates that ureteral stone may lead to pylonephritis and septicemia,and then to fungal endophthalmitis as a rare chain of event.
