Abstract
The occurrence of endogenous Candida endophthalmitis is rare in immunocompetent patients. We report a case of a 29-year-old healthy woman who developed endogenous Candida endophthalmitis after normal spontaneous vaginal delivery. The patient was diagnosed with Candida endophthalmitis by positive vitreous culture obtained by diagnostic vitrectomy. After vitrectomy, she was treated with systemic and intravitreal antifungal therapy, and subsequently, her visual acuity recovered to 20/20 without other complications. Normal spontaneous vaginal delivery may cause endogenous Candida endophthalmitis in young healthy women. Diagnostic vitrectomy with systemic and intravitreal antifungal treatment can be useful in diagnosis and treatment of Candida endophthalmitis.
