    A case of Candida endophthalmitis following eye injury was successfully treated with vitrectomy and amphotericin B. This highlights effective management for fungal eye infections.

    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Infectious Diseases
    • Mycology

    Background:

    • Fungal endophthalmitis, particularly Candida endophthalmitis, is a severe intraocular infection.
    • Perforating eye injuries are a known risk factor for developing endophthalmitis.

    Observation:

    • A patient presented with clinical signs of Candida endophthalmitis three weeks post-perforating eye injury.
    • Vitreous aspiration cultures confirmed the presence of a Candida species.

    Findings:

    • Successful treatment was achieved using a combination of vitrectomy and intravitreal amphotericin B injection (5 mcg).
    • The patient's visual outcome and infection resolution were positive.

    Implications:

    • This case demonstrates the efficacy of surgical intervention (vitrectomy) combined with targeted antifungal therapy for traumatic Candida endophthalmitis.
