A C Martenet, and H Wildberger

A widespread septicaemia with candida albicans, which occurs most commonly after excessive therapy with antibiotics and steroids or after immunsuppressive therapy, may produce an endogenous endophthalmitis. We observed 7 such cases treated with 5-fluorocytosine (Ancotil, Roche). The treatment was successful in 5 cases. There were no serious side-effects observed from this drug.
