Subretinal abscess due to Candida tropicalis in a patient with acute myeloid leukaemia: Case report.

A 54-year-old female patient with a history of acute myeloid leukaemia and receiving maintenance chemotherapy had a systemic relapse. She also had candidaemia caused by Candida tropicalis. Her blood cultures were negative after receiving antifungal treatment. Later, she had an ophthalmological assessment as part of the protocol, without ocular discomfort. In the fundoscopic examination, a whitish chorioretinal lesion was found in the left eye in relation to subretinal abscess, which correlated with retinal angiography and optical coherence tomography. The patient was treated with systemic antifungals with a favourable resolution of the lesion.
