To determine the incidence of hematogenous Candida endophthalmitis in seriously ill patients given parenteral hyperalimentation fluids, 131 hyperalimented postoperative patients were prospectively evaluated. All patients were screened weekly for the development of chorioretinal lesions, blood cultures positive for C. albicans and signs and symptoms of Candida infection. Thirteen (9.9%) of 131 patients developed chorioretinal lesions compatible with hematogenous Candida endophthalmitis. Seven of the 13 patients with eye lesions had blood cultures positive for yeast; 2 of 118 without eye lesions had blood cultures positive for yeast (P < 0.0005). The occurrence of eye lesions consistent with hematogenous Candida endophthalmitis correlated with positive blood cultures for yeast and strongly suggested invasive candidiasis.
