A disseminated Candida infection caused eye inflammation in a patient after heart surgery. Antifungal medications successfully treated the infection, leading to recovery.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Infectious Diseases
  • Surgical Oncology

Background:

  • Post-gastrectomy complications can include opportunistic infections.
  • Endogenous fungal infections pose a significant risk in immunocompromised patients.

Observation:

  • A 68-year-old patient presented with disseminated retinochoroiditis and vitritis.
  • Symptoms appeared following extensive gastrectomy for cardial carcinoma.

Findings:

  • Clinical diagnosis of endogenous Candida infection confirmed by Blastomyces identification from a subclavian catheter tip.
  • Elevated antibody titers supported the diagnosis.
  • Treatment with oral ketoconazole and intravenous miconazole resulted in resolution.

Implications:
