Abstract
A 59 year old male renal transplant recipient developed endogenous cryptococcal endophthalmitis which was complicated by immune reconstitution inflammatory syndrome (IRIS). Herein we report a novel diagnostic test using lateral flow assay, the management of cryptococcal endophthalmitis and the novel complication of intraocular IRIS in a solid organ transplant recipient.
