Retinitis Scar after Candida Albicans Infection

Retinitis Scar after Candida Albicans Infection
The strong contraction of the scar resulting in a focal, star-shaped retinal detachment shows that not only the retina but also the choroid was involved in the original inflammatory process. Underneath the flat, but well visible retinal folds are glial proliferations. Hard exudate is seen in the macular area.
