Candida endophthalmitis
In this patient a fungal agent was spread within a candidemia into the bulbus. The patient's history there is an alvus surgery because of bladder cancer as reason for the haematogenous spreading. In the ultra-wide-angle photograph of the fundus (Optomap) there are distinct typical, fluffy, white, praeretinal foci of the agent (Candida albicans).
