Caption:
This image depicts the right eye of a patient, which had become infected with what was determined to be the fungal organism, Candida parapsilosis. This inflammatory response led to the formation of a corneal ulcer, that can be seen as a whitish patch atop the pupil. Note the purulent exudate collecting in the region of the medial canthus, and the accompanying scleral erythema, or reddening. See PHIL15635, for a view of both eyes, and PHIL 15640, for a look at the erythema apparent on the interior side of the infected eye’s upper lid.
