Abstract

Abridged Index Medicus
Candida endophthalmitis, caused by transient candidemia, developed in a 14-year-old white girl receiving intravenous hyperalimentation. Antifungal synergism was established in vitro for the combination of amphotericin B and rifampin against the C. albicans isolate. A combined ten-day course of intravenous amphotericin B and oral rifampin was followed by the elimination of the infection and the preservation of good visual acuity.
