Abstract
Two cases of endogenous candida endophthalmitis which consulted our dermatological office are reported. Case 1: A 39-year-old man was diagnosed with subacute extradural haematoma. Following an intracranial intracranial operation, fever of unknown origin continued for about a month. During intravenous hyperalimentation (IVH), floating spots, failing sight and clouded vision were experienced in both his eyes. The patient was furthermore complicated by subcutaneous candidal abscess, candidal glossitis and oral candidiasis. Case 2: A 59-year-old man was diagnosed with cancer of the stomach. Following an operation, a pancreatic fistula was found. During IVH, he experienced floating spots and failing sight. Candida albicans was detected both under direct microscopic examination and from the culture of the resected vitreous body of the two cases.
