[Candida retinitis following gastrectomy].
The authors report on a 68-year-old patient who developed disseminated retinochoroiditis and vitritis following extensive gastrectomy for a cardial carcinoma. The clinical diagnosis of an endogenous Candida infection was confirmed by positive identification of Blastomyces from the subclavian catheter tip and the antibody titer. Resolution was achieved with orally administered ketoconazole and intravenously administered miconazole therapy.
