Abstract
Endogenous fungal endophthalmitis is a potentially blinding condition that can signal an underlying systemic infection. Without a dilated fundus examination in the presence of ocular inflammation, the condition easily can be misdiagnosed. Fungal infection may lead to retinal and vitreal lesions that can be visually debilitating if left untreated. Prognosis for visual outcome is dependent on timely diagnosis and initiation of treatment.
