Management of a case of Candida albicans endogenous endophthalmitis with intravitreal caspofungin
We report a case of Candida albicans endogenous endophthalmitis treated with intravitreal caspofungin. The patient was a known case of acute lymphoblastic leukemia on chemotherapy and presented to us with features suggestive of endogenous endophthalmitis.

Pharmacokinetics and Safety of Intravitreal Caspofungin [PDF]
ABSTRACT Caspofungin exhibits potent antifungal activities against Candida and Aspergillus species. The elimination rate and retinal toxicity of caspofungin were determined in this study to assess its pharmacokinetics and safety in the treatment of fungal endophthalmitis ...

Caspofungin Induced Cell Wall Changes of Candida Species Influences Macrophage Interactions
Candida species are known to differ in their ability to cause infection and have been shown to display varied susceptibilities to antifungal drugs. Treatment with the echinocandin, caspofungin, leads to compensatory alterations in the fungal cell wall ...
