F Barthelemy, and H Offret, and J J Saragoussi, and Y Pouliquen, and P Dhermy

Mycotic endophthalmitis has a poor prognosis particularly when it occurs in drug addicts. Ten ocular manifestations have been studied. These endophthalmitis all appeared after intravenous heroin injections. In one case, Candida albicans was found in the vitrectomy liquid. In two others cases, the mycosis was suspected after electrosynerese. Treatment gave different results because of the slight penetration of the different drugs into the eye. A therapeutic trial was conducted : 4 patients underwent vitrectomy raising the problem of surgical treatment of these affections.
