Purpose:
To report findings in a patient with bilateral Candida albicans subretinal abscesses responsive to oral voriconazole.
Methods:
Retrospective, case report.
Results:
A 62-year-old woman presented with bilateral C albicans subretinal abscesses secondary to chronic immunosuppression. The abscesses responded to oral voriconazole and resolved completely within 4 months of initial presentation.
Conclusions:
This case illustrates that oral voriconazole may be effective in the treatment of large subretinal abscesses in an immunocompromised patient. Additionally, this report suggests that a subretinal aspirate may have greater diagnostic sensitivity than a vitreous specimen in eyes with infectious subretinal abscesses.
