Abstract：
PURPOSE:To document a case of Candida tropicalis endophthalmitis as the only manifestation of pacemaker endocarditis. METHODS:We examined a 75-year-old man with diabetes mellitus who was initially examined for bilateral multifocal endophthalmitis complicating endocarditis 2 years after a permanent pacemaker for sick sinus syndrome was implanted. RESULTS:Transesophageal echocardiography showed a large vegetation with a 3-cm diameter attached to the pacing electrode in the right ventricle. Six consecutive blood cultures grew C tropicalis. CONCLUSIONS:Ocular involvement, including multifocal endophthalmitis, may occur as the only manifestation of C tropicalis endocarditis, complicating an intravenous permanent pacemaker.
