Description
Anjay Shah, Samuel Korntner, Kamyar Afsharmanesh, and Nazanin Ebrahimiadib report a rare case of two eye infections in a row in the same eye. Their 2025 case report covers a patient with a weakened immune system.
The patient was a 46-year-old man with rheumatoid arthritis on long-term oral methylprednisolone. He came in with blurry vision and floaters in his left eye. Exams showed yellowish fluffy retinal lesions and fungal balls in the vitreous, matching presumed candida endophthalmitis from inside the body. His course then led to a second presumed infection, cytomegalovirus uveitis. The case stresses close checks and strong treatment to save sight.
