영문 초록

Purpose: To report a case of candida infection after Medpor^{® orbital implantation. Methods: A 51-year-old man was admitted complaining of painful swelling and discharge about 3 years after orbital Medpor® implantation. External examination revealed signs of infection and exposure of the implant. Medpor® was surgically removed. In laboratory studies, white colony was detected in blood agar, potato dextrose agar, and CHROMagar. Automatic identification with yeast standard test revealed Candida parapsilosis. Results: Six months after surgery, the wound had healed well. In addition, cosmesis was acceptable with the artificial eye, except mild superior sulcus deformity. Conclusions: Although rare, fungal infection of the implant should be suspected when there are the long standing signs of infection and exposure after orbital Medpor® implantation.}
