Abstract

Fungal chorioretinitis is a rare complication of neonatal fungemia that may lead to vision loss. Early diagnosis and aggressive treatment are essential to avoid vision loss. This study describes a case of a full term infant with candidiasis infection, which disseminated from the eye to the hip joint, and the diagnosis and treatment of fungal chorioretinitis and hip osteoarthritis with systemic candidiasis. The current case report indicates that the duration of therapy for fungal chorioretinitis should be at least 4‑6 weeks long and should ideally continue until all clinical evidence of intraocular infection has been resolved. Close follow‑up of infants who survive fungemia is essential. Therefore, early diagnosis and appropriate duration of antifungal treatment are necessary.
