Abstract
- Candida albicans endophthalmitis following cataract surgery is fortunately rare complication, but once the infection is established, its course is unrelenting and the prognosis for a good visual result is usually very guarded. The authors experienced a case of culture-proved Candida albicans endophthalmitis following intracapsular cataract extraction in a 74-year old man. Endophthalmitis was resolved after treatment with intravitreal injection of amphotericin B, intravenous amphotericin B, oral Ketoconazole and 2% of topical Ketoconazole.
