Abstract

Two patients with disseminated candidiasis are presented. The diagnosis was established by fundoscopy. Candida endophthalmitis can be the only manifestation of disseminated candidiasis. The role of fundoscopy in the management of candidemia is emphasized because it can provide evidence of disseminated disease. Every positive blood culture requires repeated fundoscopic examination. Early recognition is essential to prevent irreversible loss of vision
