Abstract
- Abscess formation due to Candida albicans infection is extremely rare. Radiological diagnosis of an atypical abscess at an uncommon site is challenging. In this study, we present a case of insidious onset multifocal chest wall and spinal abscess after candidemia in a young woman in the intensive care unit due to postpartum bleeding.
