| description | Abstract Purpose To report a case of endogenous Candida endophthalmitis that may cause catastrophic sight-threatening outcomes, after extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL) in a healthy woman. Case presentation A 32-year-old woman presented to the ophthalmology clinic with the symptom of blurred vision and floater in her right eye. She underwent ESWL for renal stone 1 week prior to her presentation. Fundus examination showed an elevated white lesion in para-fovea with fluffy border. Smear of diagnostic vitreous sampling showed pseudo-hypha and budding yeast. Systemic and immunologic and infectious workups were unremarkable. In our case, response to intravitreal and intravenous injection of amphotericin-B and oral fluconazole was dramatic. Six weeks after starting the treatment, infiltrative lesion completely disappeared. The authors review previous MEDLINE literature about this topic. Conclusion Endogenous Candida endophthalmitis following renal stone lithotripsy is a serious and rare intraocular infection that may happen in healthy individuals without any risk factors. |
