A 35-year-old male presented with Candida keratitis in the left eye. He was HIV positive with a CD4 of 352 cells/ μL. The eye quickly deteriorated, despite intensive antifungal treatment and was eviscerated. Five months later, he re-presented with Candida keratitis in his right eye.

He was subsequentlytreated with good outcome (max. 75 words)
