Abstract. Purpose:To report a case of drug-resistant fungal endophthalmitis that responded to systemic voriconazole. Case:A 71-year-old male presented with impaired visual acuity in his right eye. He had received surgery for bile duct cancer 6 weeks before followed by intravenous hyperalimentation(IVH). He developed fever 18 days later. Candida was cultured from the tip of catheter for IVH. Systemic fluconazole was followed by progressively impaired vision in his right eye. Findings:Corrected visual acuity was 0.04 right and 0.9 left. The right eye showed a fungus ball involving the fovea. Intravenous infusion of voriconazole was started under the diagnosis of fungal endophthalmitis. The fungus ball started to decrease on day 2 of treatment. The patient was discharged from hospital with visual acuity of 0.1 due to scarring of fovea. Conclusion:Systemic voriconazole was effective for fluconazoleresistant fungal endophthalmitis.
