Spontaneous Resolution of Endogenous Candida Endophthalmitis Complicating Intravenous Hyperalimentation

Abstract

Untreated patients with endogenous Candida endophthalmitis who have not died of disseminated disease have required enucleation. A 57-year-old woman had endogenous Candida endophthalmitis developing subsequent to catheter sepsis during hyperalimentation, in which no antimycotic therapy was employed. The endophthalmitis resolved, and good visual acuity was preserved.
