Skin abscess caused by Candida albicans: unusual presentation of C. albicans disease.
AUTOR(ES)
Feldman, W E
RESUMO
A 9-month-old patient developed a Candida albicans skin abscess at the repair site of a lumbar myelomeningocele. There was no evidence of C. albicans infection elsewhere in the body. The infection may have been acquired at the time of the original myelomeningocele repair at 2 days of age. The abscess was cured by surgical drainage and amphotericin B therapy. This case indicates that laboratories should be aware of C. albicans as an unusual cause of abscess.
