Caption:
This image depicts the eyes 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 right pupil. Note the purulent exudate collecting in the region of the right medial canthus, and the accompanying bilateral scleral erythema, or reddening, and blepharitis. See 15632, for a closer look at the ulcerative condition of this patient’s right eye. PHIL 15640 reveals the erythema apparent on the interior side of the infected eye’s upper lid.
