  • Abstract
  • Look Inside

A 74-year-old male was referred to us for blurring of vision in his right eye. Prior treatments with topical and systemic corticosteroid were futile. He had had malignant lymphoma which subsided by resection and chemotherapy one year before . The ocular findings were suggestive of recurrence of malignant lymphoma. After systemic examinations proved to be negative, his right eye was treated by vitrectomy. Culture of surgically obtained specimen showed Candida albicans. Additional treatment with antifungal agents induced improved visual acuity. This case illustrates that fungus endophthalmitis may be present in corticosteroid-resistant uveitis and that vitreous surgery may be of value in the diagnosis and treatment.
