Caption:
This image depicts a close view of a patient’s right eye, which had become infected with what was determined to be the fungal organism, Candida parapsilosis. This inflammatory response led to the formation of a corneal ulcer that could be seen as a whitish patch atop the pupil. Note the purulent exudate collecting in the region of the medial canthus, and the accompanying scleral erythema, or reddening. See PHIL 15632, and 15635, for a better look at the right eye's corneal ulceration.
