Fibrin Web in a Patient with Candida glabrata Endophthalmitis

A 60-year-old woman with Fuchs' dystrophy underwent an uncomplicated Descemet membrane endothelial keratoplasty. One week later, she developed culture-positive Candida glabrata endophthalmitis presumably due to a contaminated donor graft. The donor rim tissue culture also tested positive for Candida glabrata several days later. Despite multiple injections of intravitreal voriconazole, her vision declined to light perception and decision was made to proceed with pars plana vitrectomy. One day after surgery, a dense fibrin web was observed in the anterior chamber (Fig  1A).
