Sir, the recent publication on the first case of Candida dubliniensis endophthalmitis in North America is very interesting [1].

The case is indeed very rare, but it is important to mention that this should not be considered the first case report in North America [1]. The present case is a “27-year-old immunocompetent male with loss of vision, dense vitritis, and chorioretinal infiltrates” [1]. There is no doubt that this rare infection should be kept in mind by the ophthalmologist. However, it should be mentioned that the first such case in North America was reported by Sedeel et al. [2] in 2008, being a “38-year-old male with no significant past medical history.” The present statement by Espinosa-Heidmann et al. regarding this being the first such case report is therefore not correct.
