Abstract

Background

Liver abscesses caused by Candida species are mainly found in immunocompromised hosts, associated with conditions (such as neutropenia and mucositis) that facilitate the spreading of microorganisms from the gastrointestinal tract.

Case report

We present the case of a non-immunocompromised 72-year-old woman with a liver abscess caused by Candida haemulonii var. vulnera, in whom potential associated conditions could be polycystic kidney disease and renal replacement therapy. The patient experienced clinical resolution after percutaneous drainage and treatment with caspofungin.

Conclusions

To our knowledge, this is the first case reported in Peru of a liver abscess due to Candida haemulonii var. vulnera, a clinical presentation that has not been described previously. This finding should prompt us to establish active surveillance of causal agents of systemic candidiasis.

念珠菌感染所致肝脓肿。秘鲁报告首例病例

背景:念珠菌引起的肝脓肿主要见于免疫功能低下的宿主，与促进胃肠道微生物传播的条件(如中性粒细胞减少症和粘膜炎)有关。病例报告:我们报告了一位72岁的非免疫功能低下的女性，她的肝脓肿是由念珠菌易感性引起的，其潜在的相关条件可能是多囊肾病和肾脏替代治疗。经皮引流和卡泊芬净治疗后，患者的临床症状得到缓解。结论:据我们所知，这是秘鲁报道的第一例由易损念珠菌引起的肝脓肿，其临床表现此前未见报道。这一发现应促使我们建立系统性念珠菌病病原的积极监测。

期刊介绍： Revista Iberoamericana de Micología (Ibero-American Journal of Mycology) is the official journal of the Asociación Española de Micología, Asociación Venezolana de Micología and Asociación Argentina de Micología (The Spanish, Venezuelan, and Argentinian Mycology Associations). The Journal gives priority to publishing articles on studies associated with fungi and their pathogenic action on humans and animals, as well as any scientific studies on any aspect of mycology. The Journal also publishes, in Spanish and in English, original articles, reviews, mycology forums, editorials, special articles, notes, and letters to the editor, that have previously gone through a scientific peer review process.
