Abstract. Purpose:To report a case of ulcerative colitis who developed candida keratitis during the course of treatment. Case and Findings:A 68-year-old male was diagnosed with ulcerative colitis and was treated by peroral prednisolone and intravenous hyperalimentation. Candida albicans was detected by culture of systemic blood 5 weeks after start of treatment. Both eyes showed signs of mild anterior uveitis. Ocular findings showed remission after topical prednisolone and systemic antifungal drugs. Corneal ulcer with abscess and hypopyon developed 11 months later. Candida albicans was deteced in the smear from the ulcer. Topical and systemic antifungal drugs resulted in cure 6 weeks later. Conclusion:This case illustrates that candidemia may manifest mild anterior uveitis initially to be followed by fungal keratitis after a long interval.
