    A fungal eye infection potentially caused by Cryptococcus neoformans was suspected in a patient with temporary uremia. Spontaneous healing is presumed as the fungus could not be cultured.

    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Mycology
    • Nephrology

    Context:

    • A 79-year-old female presented with bilateral iridocyclitis.
    • Ocular findings included a questionable preretinal granuloma in the left eye.
    • The right eye showed an abscess-like granulomatous focus.

    Purpose:

    • To investigate a suspected mycotic keratitis and its potential association with underlying renal dysfunction.
    • To document the clinical and pathological findings of a presumed fungal ocular infection.

    Summary:

    • Microscopic examination of the enucleated right eye revealed encapsulated cells resembling Cryptococcus neoformans in an abscess.
    • The patient had a history of temporary uremia.
    • Despite clinical suspicion, fungal culture was negative, suggesting spontaneous resolution or a non-viable organism.

    Impact:

    • Highlights the diagnostic challenges of fungal endophthalmitis, especially when cultures are negative.
    • Underscores the potential link between systemic conditions like uremia and opportunistic fungal infections.
    • Discusses the role of antifungal therapy, such as amphotericin B, in managing such cases.
