Abstract:
Candida endophthalmitis is a serious complication of candidemia. Diagnosis requires identification of ocular lesions on dilated fundoscopy, aided by isolation of the organism from blood and/or vitreous humor. However, the initial ophthalmological examination may be negative in some cases. Experience with isavuconazole for the treatment of Candida endophthalmitis is limited. We present a case of a 65-year-old woman with metastatic breast cancer on chemotherapy who developed Candida dubliniensis endophthalmitis with initial negative ophthalmological examination. She was treated with vitrectomy and 6 weeks of oral fluconazole. Despite vitrectomy and culture-directed antifungal treatment, management was complicated by lack of response to fluconazole and intolerance to other antifungals, necessitating the use of isavuconazole, which proved efficacious.
