A Scoping Review of the Changing Epidemiology and Risk Factors of Endogenous Candida Ocular Infections

Purpose of Review There is controversy surrounding the true incidence of ocular infection in patients with candidemia and the best approach to screening for this condition. Recent Findings Multiple studies have been published recently, updating our understanding of the epidemiology and risk factors for endogenous ocular candidiasis. Summary Ocular candidiasis has an overall low prevalence but remains a clinically relevant and important disease entity among patients with candidemia, especially among those patients infected with Candida albicans and patients with indwelling central venous catheters, comorbid immunosuppression, or intravenous drug use.
