    Postpartum women with visual symptoms may develop endogenous Candida endophthalmitis. Prompt diagnosis and treatment, including vitrectomy and amphotericin B, are crucial for successful outcomes in this rare condition.

    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Infectious Diseases
    • Maternal Health

    Background:

    • Endogenous fungal endophthalmitis is a rare but serious intraocular infection.
    • Postpartum women are a population at risk for endogenous infections due to physiological changes.

    Observation:

    • Two postpartum patients presented with endogenous Candida endophthalmitis.
    • Symptoms included visual disturbances, necessitating prompt investigation.

    Findings:

    • One patient achieved successful visual recovery following vitrectomy and intravitreal amphotericin B treatment.
    • The case highlights the potential for Candida species to cause severe intraocular infections in the postpartum period.

    Implications:

    • Candida endophthalmitis should be considered in the differential diagnosis of visual impairment in postpartum patients.
