The incidence of ocular candidiasis in patients with candidemia varies from 50% in older studies [14–17] to less than 5% in more recent ones [18, 19]. In the present report, the overall incidence of ocular candidiasis was 7.7%, which is consistent with that observed by Shah et al , who found a 7.9% frequency of chorioretinitis, with no cases of endophthalmitis. The widespread use of early antifungal therapy and improvements in diagnosis may explain the lower incidence of ocular candidiasis observed in recent years [18, 19, 21].
