Abstract

A severe case of Candida albicans panophthalmitis, probably prompted by an underlying diabetes mellitus, is reported. The course was prolonged (more than 16 weeks), although favourable after treatment with several antifungal agents, all with a predictable activity in this ocular complication and with proven susceptibility in the present case: fluconazole, liposomal amphotericin B, caspofungin, and voriconazole.
