Bilateral Candida albicans chorioretinitis
A case of an immunocompromised 30-year-old woman with bilateral Candida albicans chorioretinitis. (A) In the right eye structural OCT shows a highly reflective lesion involving the full-thickness retina and protruding into the vitreous. The hyperreflective dots in the posterior vitreous are infiltrating inflammatory cell. (B) In the left eye structural OCT shows two juxtapapillary lesions originating at the retinal pigment epithelium/choroid layer and penetrating into the neurosensory retina. Subretinal fluid is present. The hyperreflective dots in the posterior vitreous are infiltrating inflammatory cell.
