Abstract
We treated five patients who had ocular fungal infections with oral fluconazole to determine its safety and effectiveness. We reviewed the case histories of the five patients. One patient had coccidioidomycosis and four had endogenous Candida endophthalmitis. The intraocular fungal infection resolved in all patients. Fluconazole appears to be a safe and effective antifungal agent that can be administered orally and may be a useful agent for treating some intraocular fungal infections.
