    Author: Scartozzi R, Tom D, Liggett PE, Flynn HW.
    Journal: Ophthalmic Surg Lasers Imaging; 2011 Mar 10; 42 Online():e37-9. PubMed ID: 21410086.
    Abstract:
    Three consecutive patients with postoperative Candida parapsilosis endophthalmitis presented from a single surgeon and surgery center after uncomplicated cataract surgery. All patients were treated with pars plana vitrectomy (PPV), intraocular lens removal, total capsulectomy, and intraoperative injection of intravitreal antifungal agent. Intraoperative cultures of undiluted vitreous and lens capsule were all positive for the fungus. All patients also received oral antifungal agents postoperatively. Two of these patients received several serial intravitreal antifungal injections after PPV. Following these treatments, all infections were resolved and vision outcomes were favorable at last follow-up.
