  • Title: Bilateral Candida albicans dacryocystitis with facial cellulitis.
    Author: Codère F, Anderson RL.
    Journal: Can J Ophthalmol; 1982 Aug; 17(4):176-7. PubMed ID: 7127203.
    Abstract:
    Candida albicans rarely infects the lacrimal drainage system. This paper describes a case of bilateral C. albicans dacryocystitis following midfacial trauma. The patient presented with recurrent facial cellulitis and a fistula opening onto the cheek. The condition was controlled only after bilateral dacryocystorhinostomy along with amphotericin B therapy. This appears to be the first reported case in which the lacrimal sacs acted as a reservoir for microorganisms causing recurrent facial cellulitis.
